The Hanna Municipal Library has a new manager, Carley Angelstad.
Angelstad, who was born and raised in Camrose, Alta, has a Masters of Library and Information Studies from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and was just finishing grad school when she heard about the position in Hanna.
“As a new librarian, this was an exciting opportunity,” said Angelstad.
“I enjoyed living and working in a smaller community where folks know each other well and are deeply invested in the wellbeing of the town,” Angelstad explained.
“I worked at the Camrose Public Library for several years and appreciated the sense of connection and community that the library fostered.”
“After a few years in Edmonton, I’m excited about the flexibility and creativity that working at a smaller library provides and the calm, welcoming atmosphere of the town was very enticing,” she added.
Having only been at the library since June 22, Angelstad said “everyone I’ve met has been so welcoming and helpful, which is just wonderful when you move to a new community.”
“Several people have told me how important this library is to them and it is great to be working in a town that values its library so strongly,” she added.
Angelstad said with the recent renovations the facility is “a beautiful space.”
“Jenn (Steinbrecker) has done a great job of explaining the past programming the library has done for the community.”
“Of course, because of COVID, the library is currently closed and our programming has been paused,” she noted.
“That said, the Summer Reading Program is a cornerstone of summer activity in Hanna and I am excited to work with Jenn to find creative ways to promote reading and literacy this summer.”
While Phase 2 of the Alberta Relaunch has begun, Angelstad said what the opening of the library will look like has not yet been determined.
“We highly value the perspective and priorities of the community as we make these decisions. While it may look a bit different, the library will continue to provide programming for children, families, and seniors that support literacy, education, and community connection,” she added.
