New librarian to address citizens

Matt Johnson, the newly hired Mariposa County Librarian, will make a public presentation on Saturday, February 11 at 10am at the Miners Inn.
Johnson has always loved libraries since he was a young child, when he would often bike to his local library and get lost in books for the afternoon. Johnson states,” One of the first things I did after moving to Mariposa seven years ago was sign up for a library card.”
He comes to the library with seven years of journalism experience and two years of teaching experience. He lives in Mariposa with his wife and daughters. Hobbies include reading, sports, movies, guitar, and spending time with his family. Johnson’s free time is spent attending San Jose State University to obtain his Masters of Library and Information Science.
Johnson will talk about his plans for the future of the libraries in the county. Since starting just a few weeks ago he has already started a design contest for new library cards.
This presentation is a public service offered by the Mariposa Democratic Club. It is free to the public (donations are accepted to defray the room rental). Coffee and water are available. Guests are able to arrive at 9:30am to order breakfast for themselves. After the public presentation the club will conduct a short meeting. Anyone can be a member for just $15 a year.
Scholarship opportunity

Mariposa County Unified School District applicants can apply through their high school’s Counseling Office.
