Missy Hansen contributes to Clarion library, community

Beginning her third year as Clarion Public Library’s children’s librarian, Melissa (Missy) Hansen enjoys serving the young people of our community.

A local gal, Hansen graduated from Clarion-Goldfield in 2001. She received her AA degree from Ellsworth Community College and her degree in Library Youth/Human Services from UNI. Regardless of the time of year, library children’s programs are organized and promoted by Hansen and the rest of the library staff.

What does Hansen enjoy the most about her job? “I like to see kids when they come in and don’t know books they might want,” she said, “and to direct them the right places to find what they are looking for. I like showing them how to successfully navigate the library. Sometimes their eyes light up when the find the book or books they want.”
