When Mara Bazua came to the United States from Guadalajara, Mexico, she did not have a computer. It was the early 2000s, so cell phones were newer, social media was in its infancy, and job applications had just switched from paper forms to online. Mara would visit the library and use the public computers to check her social media as a way to stay connected to family and friends. She started working for the library in 2017, and today Mara is the Holgate Library Administrator.
