Courtney “Cam” Amabile is the Volunteer & Operations Coordinator, Operations Division, of the State Library of Oregon. Please download and read her latest article, “A Matriarch With Many Sides: Contextualizing Oregon’s First State Librarian,” here:

From Cam’s article, “Another pivotal point in societal consciousness is brewing. Statues, plaques, and other representations of the controversial values of times foregone have tumbled and awareness of the transgressions of historical figures is at an all-time high. Increased awareness has awakened a reexamination period, an acknowledgment of the necessity for a holistic narrative about the people and events we choose to honor. With this modern lens of cultural value being used to highlight the actions of past leaders, the State Library of Oregon has begun its own introspection on who we venerate and how.”
Courtney “Cam” Amabile graduated from Tulane University with a degree in Anthropology and Environmental Biology. She is a National Association for Interpretation (NAI) Certified Interpretive Guide with a background in environmental education, interpretation, volunteer coordination, community outreach, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, camping, birding, nature journaling, and photography in Oregon’s outdoor wonderland as well as volunteering for NAI.

Thank you,
