“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.
The State Library of Kansas provides on-site and online information services for state and local governments, other state agencies, state legislators and legislative staff, local libraries and their users as well as Kansas citizens, residents and visitors. It shares resources and government information; delivers information and solutions; educates librarians and trustees; promotes literacy and reading for everyone; and advocates for open and equitable access, intellectual freedom and excellence in library services and support.  The State Library’s current mission is to deliver 21st Century library services and resources to all Kansans.
