We want to let our great state know the importance of libraries today, and we want to continue to elevate women's’ voices as well. That makes Jennifer Lena a perfect guest for today. She serves as the Deputy Executive Director of the Mississippi Library Commission, a role in which she has demonstrated expertise since commencing her career in state government in 2010. A Rankin county resident and high-achieving alumna of both Belhaven and Southern Miss, Jennifer is Mississippi to her core. She is a recipient of the prestigious Certified Public Manager with Excellence, and we’re excited to pick her brain about why libraries are necessary in our state and beyond.
