Why I Support WBHM: Haruyo Miyagawa
For librarian Haruyo Miyagawa, WBHM is an essential part of her day.
“I support WBHM because it helps me do my job better,” says Miyagawa. She’s currently head of Library Arts Literature and Sports Department at the Birmingham Public Library.
“Librarians are in the business of connecting people with the information they want or need,” explains Miyagawa. “We need to stay aware of what’s going on in the world, whether it’s right here in Birmingham or on the other side of the world.” She says WBHM helps her do just that.
“If you love in-depth, balanced information on a wide range of topics, please give to WBHM! You’ll be glad you did,” says Miyagawa.
