Aaron Stefanich, Children’s Services Director, has been named the North Dakota Library Association's 2023 Librarian of the Year. 

Since 1992, this honor recognizes outstanding contributions to the North Dakota library profession. Aaron's fondest career memories revolve around people—colleagues, patrons, and even his own children experiencing storytime.
