Rhonda Oliver is currently a regional branch manager with the Indianapolis Public Library. She has diverse experiences working within medical, academic, and public libraries. Her most recent achievement was advocating for and designing a standalone library with the local community, which resulted in the building of a new branch library in an area that had previously been served from a storefront for over 48 years. Rhonda loves to read romance novels with a focus on intelligent and science-minded women, medical thrillers, children’s literature, and YA science fiction novels; in particular those with BIPOC characters.
This month’s theme, #BlackIsBeautiful, is curated by Shauntee Burns-Simpson.
