Photograph of Librarian Rachel Alexander with Children at Bilingual Storytime

Pictured here is Librarian Rachel Alexander with a group of children at a bilingual storytime in the Story Garden at Northwest Library. She is holding a book in her left hand, with the pages facing toward the children and has one hand placed on the head of a child in the front row. The children are seated facing Rachel Alexander; some of the children are looking at her and some are looking at the camera or elsewhere. One child near the back is holding two fingers in the air.

Rachel Alexander worked for Worthington Libraries from 1976 to 1985, and again from 1997 to 2008; during that time she served many roles, including community services librarian, children’s librarian, youth services manager and youth services materials selector. Additionally, she served as chairperson for the Jo Osborne Award, leading a committee of librarians and teachers who selected the winners each year.
