Marissa Lamer has joined the Hays Public Library as the new Kansas Room Librarian. Lamer is a native of Salina and comes to Hays from the Kansas City area, where she worked for the last two years.

Lamer hit the ground running at the Hays Public Library. “I’m digging in and establishing a routine. I will be bringing some new, exciting programs to the library and I’m really looking forward to helping patrons by finding out what kinds of materials and services they need.”

Lamer is a graduate of Emporia State University where she received both a Bachelor’s of Arts in History (2012) and Master’s in Library Science (2014).

Lamer is glad to be back in western Kansas. “I lived in Kansas City for a couple of years, but I am much more at home in Hays. The Hays Public Library has a great reputation and after meeting Eric Norris, the library’s director, and the rest of the staff, I knew I wanted to be a part of this library.”

“One of my favorite aspects of working in a public library is getting to know people with different backgrounds and life experiences,” Lamer said. “I really enjoy meeting people. Feel free to stop by and say hello the next time you’re in the library.”
