Mychal Threets is a librarian. He grew up in Fairfield, CA- right between Sacramento and San Francisco. He grew up in libraries as a homeschool kid.

He got his first library card at the age of 5 and was hooked on libraries from there. He got his first library job at the library he grew up in and worked his way up to become Supervising Librarian of that very same library.

Mychal loves stories! He enjoys learning something new every day, and that includes learning why people love their local library. He utilizes social media to share the stories of library kids and library grown-ups that he encounters in library land.

Mychal’s words of wisdom:

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

CARL is honored to have this intrepid young library leader join us as our 2024 CARL Conference keynote speaker.
