Who is the Library Social Worker?
Saint Paul Public Library partners with People Incorporated to embed one full-time social worker in library spaces. The social worker is available to guide patrons in connecting with community resources that meet their unique needs. They are highly knowledgeable about public, private, and government organizations that can assist patrons.
