Governor Mark Parkinson has announced the appointment of Joanne (Jo) Budler to the post of Kansas State Librarian.
“We are very excited to welcome Jo to Kansas,” said Parkinson. “Her 25 years of experience and leadership in state libraries will ensure that homes and schools across our state continue to receive the important services the Kansas State Library has to offer.”
For the past five years, Budler has served as the Ohio State Librarian. Previously, she was the deputy state librarian for the Library of Michigan and the director of Network Services and NEBASE, the State of Nebraska’s Online Computer Library Center network. She holds a master’s in library science and a master’s of fine arts in Writers’ Workshop, both from the University of Iowa.
Budler will replace interim State Librarian Marc Galbriath, who served in the role since June 2009 after former State Librarian Christie Brandau announced her retirement.
