Steve Roskoski's accomplishments during his tenure at Multnomah County Library touch upon almost everything the library does: developing employee training, introducing chat reference, supervising a branch while the manager is on leave, conducting story times, mentoring new staffers, working on interlibrary loan and hiring, and even serving on a statewide board for online reference. That assessment from Heidi Dolamore's nomination is the key reason Roskoski, a library assistant at the Multnomah County Library, Portland, Oregon, has been named by the editors of "Library Journal" as the winner of the 2008 Paraprofessional of the Year Award.
