Meet the Director

Tammy Clausen has worked in public libraries for over fifteen years - the last nine right here at the Berwyn Public Library.  As the Department Head of first Readers' Advisory and then Outreach Services, she created dynamic service-oriented programs for the Library.

Tammy attended Dominican University, graduating with a Masters in Library and Information Science in 2001.  In 2004, she co-authored a reference guide entitled "The Horror Readers' Advisory: The Librarian's Guide to Vampires, Killer Tomatoes and Haunted Houses."

A resident of Berwyn, Tammy has worked successfully with the city, schools, historical society, theater, cultural center, and park districts.  Tammy says, "I believe the library and these community organizations share common goals and are natural partners that can benefit from collaborative programming and shared resources."

Tammy's networking skills and experience with cooperative community efforts will be essential as we continue to serve the informational and education needs of Berwyn residents.
