Amanda Raiche,
Content Editor
CSLP is pleased to announce a new position, and a new staff member, to our small non-profit roster. Join us in welcoming Amanda Raiche as our new Content Editor. In the past, we had a part-time position as Managing Editor but found that we needed someone to think about our oodles of content in a more holistic manner. That takes more time, so our Board of Directors authorized creating a full-time Content Editor position. Amanda comes to CSLP after several years of working with us as a State Rep from South Dakota. You may recognize her professional development work! She was part of our 2024 Summer Symposium and did a fantastic webinar on Process Art that you can find here. CSLP is thrilled to have someone with so much experience in library development join our team.
Contact Amanda at [email protected] with any manual-related questions or suggestions.
