Keri Burick has worked at the independent North Canton Public Library for over 13yrs, and this has given her an appreciation for autonomy. She believes open source software, like WordPress, gives people, businesses, and nonprofits the opportunity to explore their own creativity and how they present themselves to the local and global communities. Working in a library keeps her in touch with all types of technology and communication infrastructures, and WordPress provides an exciting avenue for authors and businesses to develop their essence. She’s excited to be apart of something that is developed by the community because it directly reflects how libraries across the world are run.
