I started my library career in 2015, in a public library in a small municipality of 15\u00a0000 people. I am a fulltime youth librarian at \u00d8stre Toten folkebibliotek, and my background is an education in creative writing and cultural project management.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017 I attended my first IFLA congress, thanks to a scholarship from Norwegian Union of Municipal and General Employees (Fagforbundet). After IFLA17 I became a member of Fagforbundets library interest group, which gives guiding advice on library politics. I received yet another scholarship last year, and attended IFLA in Kuala Lumpur. Whilst there, I attended several Public Libraries business meetings\/sessions, and found your work something I myself would like to be a part of.<\/p>\n<p>As a librarian and a member of my union, I am interested in further development of public libraries and the access to knowledge and information. I would like to work for strengthening the role that the public library has in society, both as a free and equal place to meet other people and as a democratic arena for debates and discussions.<\/p>\n<p>I would love to be a part of shaping the future of public libraries, and to work with talented and unique colleagues from all over the world! I will bring my passion for libraries and reading, and convert them into actions that will be a part of the shaping of the future.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about voting for members of the Public Libraries Standing Committee take the time to read our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ifla.org\/public-libraries\/2019\/02\/19\/voting-is-now-open\/\">post<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hege Kristine Myhrebakken \u00d8stre Toten folkebibliotek Norway My name is Hege Kristine and I am 29 years old.
