When we think of librarians we often think of quiet, bookish people behind a desk or computer screen. But Carlsbad’s Bonnie Biggs is not your standard librarian (or ex-librarian in this case). She recently retired from her job as the University of California San Marcos‘ tribal liaison, but the work she is most known for is reviving libraries on Indian reservations in Southern California, according to a story in the San Diego Union Tribune.
What she did revived libraries at Indian reservations across Southern California and led her to become a link between young tribal members and college. . . “She encouraged us to keep our libraries open, enlarge our collections,” said Patricia Dixon, a Pauma tribal member.
