Meeting the intellectual, informational and recreational needs of the Tucson community aligns with the goals of this Pima County children's librarian.
Brie Chillious Special to the Arizona Daily Star It would be a huge understatement for me to say that I love my job. I love my job as a children’s librarian, in terms of what I get to do at Quincie Douglas Library, which is informing our patrons and kiddos of what’s happening at their library.
I’m occasionally asked, “Why did you move here to Tucson, of all places?” My usual response: “I wasn’t happy back home. I needed to be happy elsewhere, therefore, I decided to take the plunge and move out of state.” My first year of service was in 2019 at the early literacy organization Make Way for Books as a digital divisions specialist. There I worked in helping to promote the organization’s app, called the Make Way for Books App. And then 2020 happened. Around that time I reached out and met with the Library’s Literacy Initiatives program manager Kendra Davey after inquiring about possibly volunteering at the library.
His death was catalytic in having sparked conversations around the ongoing racism and violence against Black communities across America. As of today, I am still an active member of this amazing taskforce, working to create meaningful change from within, which coincides with fulfilling the plans and goals of the library’s detailed community impact plan.
