April Employee of the Month
Karin has worked for LCPL for eleven going on twelve years in June. She started out as the Children's Librarian at the Lake Station library, then worked at both Lake Station and New Chicago libraries, and then finally settled in at the Hobart Branch.
When asked what she loved about working at the library she answered with, "I love the books, particularly children's literature, being creative with our programming, inspiring children, working with our staff and patrons. It is nice to feel part of our staff, the Hobart community and see a lot of great people every day who inspire me."
Some of her favorite books are A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, and Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell. If she could have dinner with any person living or dead it would be with Ray Bradbury. Maybe she would take him out to have Vietnamese food, which is her favorite.
One thing that we do not know about Karin is that she grew up playing the piano and she won 2 Nisbora gold medals. She also likes to sing, paint, and write children's fantasy.
The children love Miss Karin and are always asking for her. They look forward to coming to her programs and just getting to talk to her.
