Carol Finch

Carol Finch

Children and Teen Services Coordinator, Phoenix Public Library

Phoenix, Arizona

Carol was nominated by Jean Kilker, who wrote: "She oversees system-wide programs, city-wide programs and even coordination between municipalities for summer reading programs. She is always willing to partner with the schools and in turn the schools encourage students to visit the library. Both find success." The "she" is Carol Finch, whose effort to inspire more high school kids to get a library card was a huge success. She worked with the local school district to share information, build a poetry slam and summer reading programs ?? mustering all the energy, strategy and organizational skills of a C.E.O. leading a Fortune 500 company. She is truly a leader we can all admire -- Carol Finch
