A hearty congratulations to Library Garden’s own Janie Hermann on her much deserved selection as an LJ Mover and Shaker:
Hermann enjoys being actively engaged with a world beyond her own library, through the blog Library Garden, the staff training and patron service communities at WebJunction, and numerous conference presentations. She says these kinds of contributions keep her “enthusiastic and excited about our profession” and help her stay ahead on new trends and technology.
Every personality inventory she’s ever taken says that Hermann is “an extroverted risk-taker.” Uprooting herself from her Canadian homeland and moving from teaching to librarianship, she’s remade her life and her library.
I’d also like to give a shout-out to a few other Garden State librarians being honored:
- Linda Devlin: Friend, former co-worker, Camden County Library’s new director, and, I hope, future LG blogger! (hint, hint… OK, your doing three jobs right now…maybe a guest piece on what it’s like to be a young new library director??)
- Trevor Dawes: Circulation Supervisor at Princeton University. Among his many accomplishments Trevor’s done a great job reviving NJLA’s mentoring program.
- Nicole Cooke: Reference Librarian, Montclair State University. In addition to starting and heading up the Black Caucus of the American Library Association (with Trevor), Nicole writes, presents and (dear to my heart) coordinates New Jersey’s Train-The-Trainer program.
Congratulations to you, and to all of the librarians honored as LJ Movers and Shakers for 2007!

Wow!! I could not be more proud to be living and working in New Jersey after seeing this post and reading all of the info contained within the links. This truly is “a celebration of the people who are shaping the library field today” and Janie, Linda, Nicole, and Trevor, you are all certainly “individuals who are enhancing the way we provide service, who are making us think about what we do and how we do it, and who are creating new models for others to use.” A hearty congrats to all four of you!
