I am honored to endorse Erin Trimble for the Deschutes Public Library Board Zone 1 position. As the Director of a nonprofit that supports families of children with disabilities and as a parent of a child with a disability, I deeply value leadership that is grounded in accessibility, equity, and a genuine commitment to community. Erin brings all of that and more. Her passion for inclusive learning, her lived experience, and her deep ties to Central Oregon make her an incredible asset to our public library system. I trust Erin to advocate for libraries that serve everyone-families, educators, learners of all kinds, and those who have historically been left out.
