Margo Lambert is the new consumer health librarian working at the Resource Café in the newly remodeled St. Elizabeth Hospital entrance. Margo received her Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science in 1999. Since that time she has worked as a reference librarian, a children’s librarian, and most recently as manager of the Algonquin Area Public Library, Eastgate Branch in Algonquin, Illinois.Margo and her husband recently moved from Illinois to Wisconsin because they enjoy the lifestyle here. She considers Wisconsin residents to be warm and friendly and she is happy to have the opportunity to serve them as a consumer health librarian. As a public librarian, she most enjoyed having contact with a variety of library users and creating a library collection that would meet their informational needs. The move to consumer health librarianship is a natural one for Margo, as it allows her to continue to serve people while gaining experience with a different, vibrant aspect of the library profession.
Margo is excited to work in a health care environment during a time in which medical information is becoming available in formats accessible to lay people. She feels honored to be in a position to help people as they educate themselves about their health and she looks forward to representing Affinity Health System by providing library service to members of this community.
Margo can be reached at 920-738-2857.
