Youth Services and Literature
Graduate Certificate Portfolio
Hi! I’m Olivia.
I’m a library assistant who runs programs, maintains collections, and manages the youth services social media pages for a public library in New Jersey.
I work in the Youth Services department to help patrons aged 0-18 use their library services. In this fast-paced environment, I love being able to combine my creativity and organizational skills to maintain the Juvenile and Young Adult Nonfiction and Biography sections, create different physical and digital assets for decorations, programs, and marketing purposes, and help patrons in a face-to-face environment. I am currently earning my Masters in Library and Information Science as well as a Graduate Certificate in Youth Services and Literature from the University of Southern Mississippi, and I am so proud to say I was named the 2025 Arlene Sarahie Award recipient from the Bergen County Cooperative Library System Scholarship committee. In my personal time, I love knitting and crocheting, and my favorite book of all time is Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
Youth Services Statement
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
