In case you  missed it, Cathy Camper is the 2022 Evelyn Sibley Lampman Award<https://www.csdola.org/lampman-2022.html> recipient for her significant contribution to the children of Oregon as both a librarian and an author. The Evelyn Sibley Lampman Award is presented annually by the Children's Services Division and is given in memory of Evelyn Sibley Lampman (1907-1980), noted Oregon teacher, journalist, and author of children's books.

Cathy recently retired as a School Corps Librarian for Multnomah County where she offered outreach to schools and teachers in Multnomah County. She is also the author of the Lowrider graphic novels, the picture book Ten Ways to Hear Snow, a non-fiction picture book Bugs Before Time, and the soon to be released picture book, Arab Arab All Year Long. This is what some of her colleagues who nominated her had to say:

"Cathy immediately connected with my students. She knows what interests kids of all ages and is able to jump right in immediately."

"Cathy is a long-time proponent of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion."

"She's never afraid to speak up about what matters, and she meets kids where they are, sharing her inventiveness and humor alongside her passion for equity."

"Cathy's passion to honor all people extends to her books, including the Lowriders in Space series and Ten Ways to Hear Snow, which feature smart characters from marginalized cultures."

"Cathy has also made a name for herself in the zine community whether it was being on the committee that buys zines for the Multnomah County Library's collection or mentoring the women of the WOC Zine Collective."

As stated in another of her many nomination letters, this award is long overdue. Congratulations, Cathy Camper!
