Anythink has added a new member to its management team with the addition of Jackie Kuusinen as manager of Anythink Brighton.

A Colorado native, Kuusinen comes to the district from the Bud Werner Memorial Library in Steamboat Springs, Colo., where she was head of the Reference Department for the past five years. During this time, Kuusinen helped establish the creation of a seed lending library and the integration of ebooks into the library’s catalog. She’s also an outdoor education and sustainability studies educator, having taught for Colorado Mountain College since 2008. As manager, Kuusinen will help lead the Anythink Brighton branch as it continues to grow and spark curiosity throughout the Brighton community.   

“I am thrilled to be a part of the very creative, hardworking and progressive Anythink team, providing vital services and information to our community,” says Kuusinen.

“We are delighted to have Jackie on board,” says Anythink Director Pam Sandlian Smith. “She is filled with ideas, energy and has a passion for libraries. Her natural sense of curiosity and adventure is a perfect fit for the Anythink style.”
