Roberta Bibbins, Director of the Orangeburg County Library, has been named a Mover & Shaker in the library industry by the national publication, Library Journal.
In its March 15, 2013 issue, Library Journal named 50 outstanding professionals committed to providing excellent service to meet the needs of the people they serve. Roberta Bibbins was selected because of her commitment to librarianship and her steadfast support of the library becoming a strong and trusted partner in the role of community development.
Library Journal honored Roberta Bibbins because of her work to develop the library as a 21st Century space for the community that would enrich, inform, and entertain.
"Each member of this year's Movers & Shakers class embodies service to their community and a passion for advancing libraries and their profession," said Mike Kelley, Library Journal Editor-in-Chief.
