BC Library Welcomes Special Guests from Romania

Thursday, December 19, 2024

The Grace Van Dyke Byrd Library at BC welcomed several distinguished guests from Romania as part of Friendship Force of Kern County’s initiative to expand literacy and informal education to institutions outside the US. The Romanian visitors were all library workers striving to improve the services and educational resources they provide in their home libraries.

BC’s library staff were excited to welcome them and discuss current issues affecting libraries in the United States and internationally. They were also joined by a special guest: former congressman and Kern Community College trustee Bill Thomas! They all had a wonderful time discussing and conversing in the room bearing Mr. Thomas’ name.

Thank you to the library staff for taking the time to meet with these special guests from Romania. We are proud to share our facilities and resources to help grow academic library access and services around the world.
