- The Missionary: Cynthia Chadwick--Arapahoe Library District, Centennial, CO Public Libraries Urban Areas Economically Disadvantaged Librarians Recognition (Achievement) Leadership Program Descriptions Budgets An M.A. in divinity is an uncommon qualification in librarianship, and so is experience in leaching job skills to homeless women. But Cynthia Chadwick, the Arapahoe Library District's manager of outreach services, thinks her background is a good match for library work. Libraries not only "have a duty to serve the marginalized of our society," she says, hut provide "some unique opportunities to do so" as well. Her colleagues nominated Chadwick as a Mover & Shaker because of her work with library finances, which may seem ironic. But it is not. Her "mission in learning about the finances of public libraries is centered around service to the poor," she says. For her project for the Urban Libraries Council Executive Leadership Institute, she set out to learn everything there was to know about the library's money situation from its finance director, Chris Brogan. This article describes her project and what she learned in the process.
