In 2016, the 20th year of the program, he traveled to Fujian Province for the first time.  As part of a three-member delegation, he visited Oregon's sister province in China, visiting libraries, giving presentations, and taking in the sights of this wonderfully historic and picturesque region.  At this LFA seminar, he will be sharing his insights on the state of Chinese libraries, their innovative services and projects, and the many aspects of Fujianese cultural life that he experienced.

Professor Sapon-White is active in the international relations efforts of both ALA and the Oregon Library Association; he has served on the ALA International Relations Committee and has been coordinating the OLA IRRT's Horner Exchange with Fujian Province, China, since 2008.  A member of Beta Phi Mu, the library science honor society, he received Fulbright fellowships in 2005 (Czech Republic) and 2012-2013 (Poland).  Professor Sapon-White earned his MLS from Southern Connecticut State University, his master's degree in public health from UCLA, and a B.Sc. in zoology from the University of Toronto.
