On the way to becoming head librarian of the Bancroft Public Library in Ontario, Chris Stephenson was driving through Kelowna and said to himself, 香蕉视频直播淥ne day I香蕉视频直播檇 like to work for the Okanagan Regional Library system.香蕉视频直播�

And two years later, that thought has evolved into reality for Stephenson.

A lifelong passionate library advocate, Stephenson香蕉视频直播檚 diverse work background has seen him work in three different Okanagan industries.

He tree-planted around the Vernon area in the 1990s, and worked as a Vancouver film industry worker on the set of Fido, a movie shot in Kelowna in 2005.

That same year, Stephenson began running tours and driving for a B.C.-based business called Moose Network which regularly stopped in Kelowna each trip. 香蕉视频直播淚t was one of the best jobs ever,香蕉视频直播� he recalled. 香蕉视频直播淚 got to showcase my country and this region for international visitors, and I knew I would one day return because of this experience.香蕉视频直播�

Stephenson said he looks forward to regularly attending events inside and outside the library, expressing a desire to both continue fostering the Okanagan Regional Library outreach services and to personally promote the library to everyone he meets in the community.
