Laney College | Council of Chief Librarians - California Community Colleges

Laney College is hiring a new Librarian to replace Ann Buchalter who transferred to College of Alameda last year. Hiring is also underway for a new Principal Library Technician to replace Shaunt Hamstra who moved on to a position at CSU – East Bay last May.

In March, librarians at Laney College met with English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Department Chair David Mitchell to discuss strategies for improving teaching effectiveness when working with non-native speakers in orientations and at the reference desk.

Laney College participated as a venue in Oakland for the “Neighborhoods Coming Together: Quilts Around Oakland,” a citywide exhibition of more than 100 quilts. The New York Times article “Quilts with a Sense of Place, Stitched in Oakland” http://goo.gl/YHLZw4 explains the exhibition.
