Hanna Library welcomes Greenman as Interlibrary Loans Technician
By Gwen Snell
Hanna Municipal Library has a new face greeting patrons behind the circulation desk. Library Director Jenn Steinbrecker is pleased to have Jonah Greenman join the team at the local library.
Greenman stated he was interested in the position as he has a love of books and an interest in people. "I find language, ideas, and other cultures / worlds fascinating. Literature presents an opportunity to discover and experience new themes, worlds, cultures, and ideas which we may otherwise never get the chance to encounter, visit or learn of. It is amazing that the universe found within the library is within reach of all and that it offers access to learn about all that sparks our imagination and curiosity. A library is a local time & travelling portal to other worlds, and it is a wonderful place to meet people who are curious and eager to explore. To be part of that world daily is amazing."
