They're two very different women with the same mission: outreach to medically underserved populations. Both work for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. Becky Hebert (left) covers the Southeast/Atlantic region, and Siobhan Champ-Blackwell, the mid-continental region. They spend much of their lives on the road, exhibiting at minority health conferences and librarians' meetings, teaching minorities to access culturally relevant health information, and building partnerships with community-based organizations. Both women came to librarianship late but found this work a logical and purposeful extension of their background and values. Champ-Blackwell was profoundly influenced by her Irish immigrant parents, who came to America because of its promise of freedom and equality. Living with people active in civil rights and other causes, she grew up wanting "to live a life that is socially just." As a stay-at-home mom, long before she became a librarian, she volunteered with La Leche LeLeague and was president of the Nebraska chapter. She says, "I didn't realize it then, but I was already acting as a health educator, helping new families adjust to caring for a baby."
