Bio: Kathryn Ballard, Library Technician, Kansas City

My name is Kathryn Ballard. I am very pleased to be a Library Technician for the Kansas City 8 Circuit Library. Presently I work th on Tuesdays and Thursdays processing new materials, filing, fulfilling photocopy requests, mail sorting and performing general collection maintenance duties. In addition to working here, I am also employed at the Kansas City Public Library in their audio/visual department, where I am a Library Technical Assistant I.

I got my start in libraries when I worked at the Greenlease Library at Rockhurst University. For most of the time I was in college, I worked maintaining all reserve room materials, processing overdue notices, checking in/out books. I was also fortunate enough to assist in writing the student training manual. When I received my BS in Finance and Economics in December of 2003, I decided to pursue my MLS. I am presently enrolled at the University of Missouri through their distance learning program with the goal of graduating before I retire.
