For two decades Jerianne Thompson has climbed to the top of her game in the library business.  Starting as reference clerk at the Murfreesboro, Tennessee library in 2002 she, in parallel, was working to get her Masters in Library and Information Science.  Some 10 years later she found herself as Public Services Supervisor at the Tualatin Library.  Since 2018 she has been the Library Director and it was just in time for us because she has overseen some of the most tremendous challenges our library has ever faced.  From the predictable like reading programs for children to the unknown like how to operate in a pandemic.  But wait, it doesn’t stop there.  In addition to the many services and roles Jerianne has helped oversee at the library, she has also helped transform the facility into one of the only 2 library maker-spaces in the metropolitan area—join our program to find out what that means!  In addition to all of this she also finds herself in a leadership role for our local Ice Age Foundation.  We can’t help but think our March interview with her will uncover even more amazing things about this local icon.
