Meet Your Librarians–Meet Ray!
Welcome to our new series: Meet Your Librarians! We’ll be introducing you to a member of our team each week through this fall.
First up is Ray our Outreach Librarian!
If you’ve met Ray around the community, you know their favorite part of working at Bridgton Public Library is building connections–helping patrons discover the resources, programs, and partnerships that make our library such a special place.
Ray is a lover of all things fantasy: graphic novels, manga, and is always ready with a recommendation (especially favorites like F.T. Lukens and T.J. Klune!). They also enjoy keeping our Of-Interest displays stocked, exploring new library arrivals, and sharing the many hidden gems available to our patrons.
Outside of the library, Ray is a fiber artist who loves crocheting, sewing, baking, collecting records, and writing letters to friends and family. They’re also a big fan of the Library’s Special Collections—especially kitchen gadgets like our dehydrator and crock pot, which are available for patrons to checkout!
Ray’s fun librarian confession? “I too return books late and forget bookmarks in my returns. Librarians are just like regular people, just with more cardigans and an inexplicable sorrow at the loss of the Library of Alexandria.”
We’re so grateful to have Ray on our team, to help with your tech questions, book recommendations, event opportunities and outreach book deliveries. So don’t be shy, say “hello” to Ray when we’re reopened again this week and be sure to ask her if she were stranded on a deserted island with one book series, what would it be?
