Amy Mikel
In fall 2012 Amy was hired as an Outreach Librarian at Brooklyn Public Library. Last October Amy was promoted to Coordinator of School Outreach, overseeing a team of three full-time outreach librarians and coordinating library outreach services to the more than 400 public and private schools in Brooklyn, New York.
Recently one of Amy's projects, the Teacher Lab, was awarded a $25,000 IMLS Sparks! Innovation grant. The project connects K-12 teachers with the public library by developing programming focused on teacher professional development and lifelong learning. The grant funding will help Brooklyn Public Library develop a model for public libraries to adapt nationwide.
