Shawn Walsh
Madison Public Library, Emerging Services and Technologies Librarian
Shawn D. Walsh has been working in libraries in various IT capacities since 1997 when at the age of 18 he was hired to be Hubbard Public Library’s first systems administrator. Having worked there for many years, he spent eight years as the Senior Technology Analyst for the Northeast Ohio Regional Library System where he either worked with or consulted on the technology needs for a variety of public, school, special and academic libraries. All this was before coming to Madison Public Library in 2012 to be their Emerging Services and Technologies Librarian. This position combined his love of technology, marketing, and outreach services into one position that supports a building and two outreach vehicles. He has also been a blogger for Public Libraries Online, co-written chapters in several library anthologies, and co-authored the book Library Service to Tweens.
