During National Library Week, we’re introducing our first Honorary Librarian: Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry!
Mayor Terry’s Favorite EVPL Location: East
“Being an honorary librarian provides me an opportunity to inspire young people by fostering a love for reading and learning. As a mayor, I believe in the power of education and community engagement, and serving as an honorary librarian allows me to actively contribute to these goals.”
