She manages CPL's One Book, One Chicago citywide reading program for adults, curates the Authors in the Library mainstage series at Harold Washington Library Center, co-created and books the Voices For Justice speaker series, and manages a variety of other cultural and civic partnerships, projects and events throughout CPL's 81 location system.
