As library director, Addleman has navigated the COVID-19 pandemic with inspiring optimism and extensive expertise. Her efforts include removing barriers to online library card registration, distributing technology to community members in need, and purchasing a bookmobile to distribute resources throughout the area.
Addleman came to Hayward Public Library in January 2019 as director of library services during a time of great transition for the department, including construction of a new building that was already a year behind schedule. Unfortunately, six months after the new library finally opened, it had to close again because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “In what was a dark time for many, Addleman’s optimism and enthusiasm shone through,” nominators wrote. She swiftly leveraged resources to purchase a bookmobile for the community.
