- Skye-Ephifanie Patrick is an American librarian, named Library Journal's Librarian of the Year in 2019. She has been Library Director of the Los Angeles County library system since February 2016 and was its first African American director. She oversees the county's 87 libraries which serve 3.5 million people with an annual operating budget of over $200 million. Under Patrick's leadership the library started a fines-forgiveness program where patrons under 21 can "read away" their late fees, resulting in 13,000 previously blocked accounts being reinstated. The library also rolled out ten "Maker mobiles" and five early literacy mobiles and opened a full-service library at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, partnering with the Los Angeles County Probation Department. Prior to working for the LA County library system, Patrick was the Director of Libraries for Broward County, Florida where she was the second African American, the first openly LGBTQ person, and first woman to hold the position. Before that she was Assistant Director of the Queens Public Library. Patrick was the recipient of a 2020 Stanton Fellowship from the Durfee Foundation. She serves on the executive board of the Urban Libraries Council, a position she's held since July 2017. (en)
