Jennifer Amell (Vice-Chair)

Jenne (pronounced Jennie) with she/her, they pronouns, Ontario born and Nova Scotian educated, I moved to Prince George and found a community I now call home. I regularly visit and benefit from our library services, programs, books, and safe spaces. I experience rich nostalgia when entering the library; my mother proudly worked in our community library for her entire working career. I remember reading in cozy nooks and studying scattered papers on Titanic tables, all while enjoying the quiet solitude. I am a Registered, Community Occupational Therapist who celebrates differences, cultivates connection, and advocates for safe and inclusive spaces.
For me the library is more than the books on the shelves, it is a safe haven, a resource for learning and growing, and a place to bring people together. I am delighted for the opportunity to contribute to the Prince George Public Library Board and our community as Vice-Chair.
