Video: Meet the North Portland librarians

Librarians aren't what they used to be, especially when talking about our staff at the current North Portland libraries. In this video, you'll meet Patricia Welch from the North Portland branch and Nancy Arvesen from the St. Johns branch. There will be no "shushing" here!

We love both these wonderful women and they make fun to work in this district. Special thanks to Nancy who came to all of our public meetings on the siting of the new branch for North Portland and has been supportive of our office throughout.
PS: We are still ironing out our editing skills! Please be patient with us as we learn.
