Patricia “Tisha” Dolton has worked a lot of jobs. Along the way she’s scooped ice cream, been a line cook, and bought books for a major book retailer. Finally, she landed at the Crandall Public Library, where she worked as outreach coordinator. In 2019, she made the transition to Historian and Reference Librarian in The Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library. She loves helping people do research, but told the story of why working in the library’s outreach program was so meaningful to her. She coordinated delivering library materials to people who couldn’t physically get to the library.

You can listen to her story in the audio clip.
