Kelley Burks Senior Librarian at Washington Irving Branch Library
helping some patrons

We are most pleased to welcome Kelley to the Washington Irving Branch Library (WIL). Growing up near Adams and Arlington, she is very familiar with our area’s history. Kelley has been with the Los Angeles Library system for nearly 20 years and most recently, worked at the Sunland-Tujunga Branch Library where she was a Young Adult (YA) librarian working with young people in grades 6-12 . Kelley lives in the San Fernando Valley, where she used to own a horse. She still enjoys horseback riding. She shares her home with Rag Muffin, her Chow mix dog. Kelley has put on her running shoes for this position. She has represented WIL at the neighborhood watch meeting, helped to fill librarian vacancies, begun a remix of our book collection ( see the new Hot Off the Press collection}, met most of the “Friends” , and went to faculty meetings where she acted in place of our Children’s librarian. Thank you, Kelley, for your commitment to Washington Irving.
