Staff Spotlight: Kathy Janosko Louise Fordyce How long have you worked at the Boulder Public Library? And how did you come to work here? I started in Sept of 2007, so almost 14 years. I responded to a “help wanted” posting for someone to handle the accounts payable and deposits. I started out as a half-time employee. What type of work did you do prior to your years at BPL? I worked for a computer sales and engineering company in Virginia prior to my move to Colorado in 2006. It was a small start-up when I first started there so I did all things office related: payables, ordering, HR, payroll. By the time I left, I was only handling payroll and HR as the administrative staff had grown over the 15 years I was there.
