After 15 years as the Reference & Adult Services Librarian, Pam Bean has announced her retirement from the Southern Oklahoma Library System (SOLS). To celebrate, the Champion Public Library will have a come-and-go reception honoring Bean from 1:00 – 4:00 PM on Thursday, May 7th. We encourage the Ardmore community to stop by and wish Bean well as she embarks on this new chapter in her life.
Before joining SOLS, Bean served 33 years as a librarian for Ardmore City Schools. During her time with SOLS, she played a key role in planning and implementing Health Literacy initiatives, coordinating Let’s Talk About It (LTAI) book discussions, and developing a strong collection of materials and resources that effectively serve the communities.
SOLS has eight (8) libraries in the five counties of Atoka, Carter, Love, Johnston, and Murray.
