Odell Public Library

 

 

Katie Rider, Director | Programming

Katie came to Odell in 2013 after moving back to the area to be closer to family. She holds a Bachelors Degree in History and Sociology from Bradley University and a Masters of Liberal Studies from Indiana University. Katie enjoys reading all sorts of books, but children’s literature is her absolute favorite! She loves facilitating the children’s programming at Odell, including Storytime, LEGO Club, and of course the Summer Reading Program.

 

 

Lisa Boles, Assistant Director | Cataloger

Lisa is Odell’s longest-serving staff member, beginning her library career back in 1997. There are few questions Lisa cannot answer and she is our go-to person for queries, especially with Sierra and genealogy! She enjoys reading or listening to books by Johanna Lindsay, Janet Evanovich, Lilian Jackson Braun, and Lee Child. In her spare time, Lisa loves to crochet and ride motorcycles, but her absolute favorite activity is spending time with her beautiful grandchildren and extended family.

Fun Fact: Lisa is a licensed ham radio operator and a registered dental assistant!
