Statement of Professional Concerns/Aspirations If Elected: After attending my first ALA Conference in New Orleans, I was amazed and energized by all of the wonderful work and ideas I learned about from libraries across the country. Most of my career has been spent in Children's Services but I have recently taken on the role as a Branch Manager and was rejuvenated by all of the ways I could bring the same joy, enthusiasm, and commitment to service to library patrons of all ages and help support, develop, and encourage furture leaders in the library system. My driving force since beginning my career as a librarian has been to connect library services to the unserved and underserved. I am committed to extending the library's reach into the community to continue to enrich the lives of others and I tirelessly research and implement new ideas, programs, and partnerships to keep things fresh, fun, and engaging for our patrons.

Major Accomplishments: Two years ago I was elected to ALA Council and in 2013 I was given the Dr. Trejo Librarian of the Year award. I was a candidate for faculty of the year at El Paso Community College (EPCC) in 2015. Another accomplishment was my graduation from ALA's Emerging Leader program and EPCC’s Teachership Academy. These are all great accomplishments in which I cherish, however, none compare to the book club that I began years prior at EPCC. The idea of bringing faculty, students, and staff together for the enjoyment of reading is a huge highlight. There is nothing better than to see the increase in literacy, especially among young students. Today our book club is thriving, we meet once a month and have even included a potluck lunch to go with our event. Students are excited, not only to read but to discuss what they read with fellow students, staff and faculty members. Many of my colleagues have not only sent their students to our book club, but they have also joined our group. Publication(s): Baeza, O (2017). “Motivate, Lead, Inspire.” In A.

  • The Basis of Tribal Library Development in the United States
    “Let Me Tell You About Indian Libraries”: Self-Determination, Leadership, and Vision— The Basis of Tribal Library Development in the United States Sandra D. Littletree A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Cheryl A. Metoyer (Chair) Allyson Carlyle David Levy Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Information School ©Copyright 2018 Sandra D. Littletree ii University of Washington Abstract “Let Me Tell You About Indian Libraries”: Self-Determination, Leadership, and Vision— The Basis of Tribal Library Development in the United States Sandra D. Littletree Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Cheryl A. Metoyer Information School Tribal libraries in the United States have become sites of cultural and language renewal, gathering places, and places to collect, preserve, and share Indigenous knowledge. After more than forty years of development, tribal libraries have become important sites of decolonization, where sovereignty and self-determination are paramount. These libraries are relatively recent tools that Native (and non-Native) people have begun to employ to collect, preserve, and transmit Indigenous knowledge for current and future generations. Despite the important role these institutions play in many Native communities, their presence is relatively unknown in the scholarly literature. This research traces the history and development of tribal libraries using qualitative research methodologies informed by Indigenous approaches to knowledge. Interviews with early designers as well as with current tribal library designers were conducted to tell the story of tribal library development. Analysis of archival documents provided additional iii information on the development of tribal libraries. This research addresses the question, What was the basis for the development of tribal libraries? The result of this examination reveals that the basis for tribal library development included the following: 1.

  • Texas State Library and Archives Commission Reopening Libraries: Resource Guide
    Texas State Library and Archives Commission Reopening Libraries: Resource Guide State Action On April 27, 2020, Governor Abbott issued Executive Order GA-18, which initiates a phased, statewide plan for reopening businesses and public services in Texas beginning on May 1, 2020. The order states in part: 2.e. Museums and libraries that operate at up to 25 percent of the total listed occupancy; provided, however, that (a) local public museums and local public libraries may so operate only if permitted by the local government, and (b) any components of museums or libraries that have interactive functions or exhibits, including child play areas, must remain closed. This order extends until May 15, 2020. The Governor stated in a press conference announcing the order that the hope was to open services further around May 18 if state officials see no health situations necessitating a slow down of reopening services. If the statewide health status continues to improve, according to current planning discussed by the Governor, businesses and services would then be able to open to 50% capacity, with increments being added in time intervals. For local libraries, important components of the GA-18 Order include: • the statement that libraries may only open if allowed to do so by their local governing authority, • the threshold for occupancy is set at the “up to” 25 percent mark, and • interactive functions or exhibits, including child play areas, must remain closed. Libraries should work with their local jurisdiction to determine how this order may be implemented. The full order may be accessed at: https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-issues-executive- order-relating-to-the-expanded-reopening-of-services.
