COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 12, 2021—Cbus Libraries, a grassroots initiative to champion libraries and the love of reading, is excited to welcome Christina Dorr, Ph.D. as one of its newest board members.

With 32 years in public, academic and primarily school libraries, Christina Dorr, Ph.D. brings considerable experience to Cbus Libraries’ board. Since 2006, Christina has been an adjunct instructor at Kent State University School of Information—teaching future generations of librarians.

She served on the 2020 Caldecott Committee through the American Library Association and is the author or co-author of four books, including LGBTQAI+ Books for Children and Teens: Providing a Window for All (2018) and forthcoming From Poverty to Possibility: Serving Children and Teens in Generational Poverty Through Literature (September 2021).
