About Me:

Dorothy is a professional librarian, author, consultant, mentor, and trainer. With more than 40 years in public libraries, she has experience in outreach, programming, community engagement, supervision, management, and administration. Dorothy has spearheaded several projects, including a research study to determine the effectiveness of library training and school readiness; two peer learning project studies; and a traveling augmented reality (AR) exhibit featuring history stories and artifacts. She has served on many advisory boards and committees for local, state, and national projects, including community asset-building, STEM, family engagement, adult learning, drug and violence awareness, makerspace activities, workforce development, early literacy, and digital media literacy. Dorothy has published seven professional development books. She advocates that the most important creative expression is the skill of thinking which goes hand-in-hand with the joy of learning. Library staff can encourage people of all ages to activate and nurture one’s best. Dorothy is owner of Waldo Publishers, LLC, inspired by the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson. https://waldopublishers.com/ Waldo’s goal is to present and publish books that inspire “activating from within.” Stoltz Creative Consulting offers a range of mentor, consulting, and training services on creativity and peer learning for libraries and other organizations.
