I Love My Librarian Winner Olga Cardenas: Breaking Barriers To Literacy


I Love My Librarian Winner Olga Cardenas: Breaking Barriers To Literacy
I Love Libraries: 5.17.2017 by J Falcon

At the Stanislaus County Library in Modesto, California, Olga Cardenas makes it her mission to deliver literacy programs, regardless of language or economic barriers.

It is why she received a 2016 I Love My Librarian Award.  Blessed with the ability to communicate in English and Spanish, she reaches families in Stanislaus County burdened with extreme poverty and facing cultural barriers.  Cardenas, who was nominated by the Friends of the Modesto Library,  holds the key these families need to unlock the potential for unlimited opportunities for their children.

As the Youth Services Outreach Librarian, she reaches out to parents in their communities, their workplaces and their houses of worship. Her outreach efforts have also led her to forge partnerships between the library and businesses, service organizations and schools.  WATCH 01:47

Librarians touch the lives of the people they serve every day.

The I Love My Librarian Award encourages library users like you to recognize the accomplishments of exceptional public, school, college, community college, or university librarians.

Nominations for the 2019-2020
I Love My Librarian Award are open through October 21
