Library Advocacy Blog

A collaboration between Louis Rosen, Sandra Furey, and Melissa Parker, three students in Dr. Slone's Foundations of Library Science class (LIS 5020) at the University of South Florida School of Library and Information Science, Spring 2006. Call them "L.A.B. Rats" if you wish, but they are the Library Advocacy Bloggers, and they're here to raise awareness of libraries and library issues!

Broward County's Tanya Simons-Oparah, a true library advocate

I would like to post a great profile from this past Sunday's Miami Herald, but unfortunately, the article is not online, and I would prefer not to retype the whole thing. Therefore, I present to you the actual article, scanned straight from the newspaper, and I think it is a fascinating read. Tanya Simons-Oparah, the outreach services director for the Broward County Library in South Florida, is a woman who definitely exemplifies the role of "library advocate."


Please click on this image, and it should take you to a larger image of the same article, big enough to actually read. If your browser automatically resizes images to fit on the screen, hold your mouse in the bottom right hand corner, and a button should appear that can expand the article to full size.
