I have presented papers in WLIC in Quebec 2008, in satellite conference in Cape Town 2015 and in several other national and international conferences. I also had a poster presentation in WLIC, Columbus, last year.<\/p>\n<p>I have got long library experience, first as a children\u00b4s librarian, then as a regional library developer and since 2009 as library director. As I\u00b4m working in a small town library I want to bring that view in all my commitments. I am passionate about the role of library in the local community and by networking finding valuable partnerships. My library has managed to be at the forefront thanks to good municipal relationships. We also listen closely to our user\u00b4s needs and wants.<\/p>\n<p>Other fields from which I also have experience are digital literacy, STEAM and sustainable development. I also worked for some years with accessibility issues and as most Swedish libraries; my library also is very much involved in integration issues. So in other words: I think I can bring a broad experience into the section work.<\/p>\n<p>I am a member of the Swedish Library Association Board.<br \/>\nI am also the co-writer of a book on library and makerspaces (Skaparbibblan, 2015).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Lo Claesson from Sweden is also standing for a second term on the PLS Standing Committee.
