ICYMI: Congresswoman Schrier Works a Shift at Granite Falls Library, Leads Storytime for Local Children

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: As a part of her “Hire Dr. Schrier” program, Congresswoman Kim Schrier, M.D. (WA-08) volunteered at the Granite Falls Library, working as a library programmer alongside staff. Additionally, Congresswoman Schrier led storytime with elementary school students from the local Boys and Girls Club. In previous editions of “Hire. Dr. Schrier,” the Congresswoman has worked shifts at a number of local businesses, including Twede’s Cafe, Village Theatre, and Trail Youth Coffee.

“I love stepping into others’ shoes through my office’s “Hire Dr. Schrier” program. Not only does it allow me to directly connect with and serve my constituents, it helps me to see the unique challenges that employees, small businesses, and institutions like libraries in the Eighth District face,” said Congresswoman Schrier. “Libraries play an important role in every town, and, as a result of the Trump Administration’s senseless cuts, are struggling to continue to provide vital resources for members of our community. I’ll continue working in Congress to fight against these cuts and support our libraries.”

Prior to volunteering at Granite Falls Library, Congresswoman Schrier participated in a roundtable discussion with library leaders from across the Eighth District to hear their concerns about the impact of the Trump Administration’s cuts to vital resources like the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which support local libraries.
