Ann Awakuni

Ann Awakuni has worked in public libraries for almost 20 years in a variety of different capacities. She is currently a Technology Librarian in the Adult & Virtual Services department of the Mountain View Public Library where she splits her time between working the public desk, developing collections and programs, and being the library webmaster and ebook guru. A 2008 Eureka Library Leadership Institute fellow, Ann is currently in the process of creating one of the first Makerspaces in a California public library. In 2012, Ann won an Infopeople scholarship to attend the very first RSquared Conference in Colorado. The R2 experience inspired Ann to seek out new ways of engaging her community with out-of-the box adult program ideas, which she shares in her course on Adult Programming.
