“One of our greatest weaknesses is that we don’t talk enough about what we do,” said Daniel Neeves , assistant director at Siouxland Libraries . While a library might seem like a place solely for book lovers, Siouxland Libraries is in actuality an extensive network of resources and connections that are an asset to any child, teen, student, adult, or family. “You might come in and check out a book or a movie or use our public computers, but there’s so much that you have access to,” said Neeves.
Neeves started working at Siouxland Libraries in 1999 as a part-time shelver. After graduating college in 2006, he returned to the organization to drive the system’s mobile library, the Bookmobile , and never looked back.
“That’s where my heart wanted to be,” he remembered. “It was here.”
Now, Neeves works in leadership and development, helping staff reach their potential while remaining fully committed to Siouxland Libraries’ mission to connect people to a world of information and ideas to enrich their lives.
“Siouxland Libraries is a great place to work because you get to touch people’s lives in more of a way than you would think on surface level.”
