Library Staff
Director
Janine Walters is the Director of the Andersen Public Library. Janine started at the library in 1994 as a volunteer bringing technology to the library. Over the years she automated the library system and maintained the software and hardware to make access to all types of media easier for all patrons. She would tell you that libraries have been around for centuries because they are everchanging to meet the needs of the people. Janine would tell you her greatest accomplishment at the library is hiring her staff and working with community members to strengthen resources for everyone.
Janine loves a tall tale, true love, the truth and a good laugh, all of which you can find on the shelves of the library. She is married to Richard and has three children.
