Meet: Dan Brower, Mid-Continent Public Library, Red Bridge BranchHey, everybody! I'm Dan Brower and I am the Assistant Branch Manager for the Red Bridge Branch of Mid-Continent Public Library, located in Kansas City, MO. I've been with MCPL since 2008, and my job has varied greatly since I started. I started out as a technology trainer for both the public and staff. I've been involved with multiple outreach projects. I have also participated in MALA workshops and webcasts. Now, I make sure that things run smoothly at the branch and stand in when the Branch Manager isn't there. I also make all of the schedules for the branch, and I hire, train, and supervise our pages. I help with the branch's collection development and budgets while still monitoring daily procedures. I've also been known to rummage through and play with the puppets. When I'm not at my desk or at the circulation desk, I'm usually out and about in the community raising people's awareness of the library and everything we have to offer. I strive to change people's opinion of the library from an afterthought to their first thought. I am currently working toward my Master's Degree in Library Science at Emporia State University. |
