Greg Bem (he/him)
Faculty Librarian and Library Coordinator, Phone x8898
Greg received his MLIS in 2013, and traveled across the country and around the globe before finding his place as a faculty librarian and library coordinator at LWTech. Prior to LWTech, he supported libraries at North Seattle College, Open Development Cambodia, and the Wildlife Conservation Society.
Greg is a strong advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion, and strives to support minoritized groups and respond to historic, systemic marginalization and oppression. He believes the 21st century college library is not only a space for teaching and learning, but a center for the academic and public communities. Greg is always looking for ways to transform and innovate the LWTech Library, so please do not be shy in sharing your ideas with him.
In addition to his librarian role at the college, Greg serves on the Executive Board of the Lake Washington Federation of Teachers (AFT 3533). He is also the member at large for College Librarians Across Washington State (CLAWS), a section of the Academic Libraries Division of the Washington Library Association. He is the current chair-elect for the Library Leadership Council, underneath the Instruction Commission of Washington's State Board of Community and Technical Colleges.
In addition to his love for librarianship and library technologies, Greg enjoys exploring local and exotic wildernesses, writing, editing, and publishing poetic writing, and hosting arts events. You can see what he's reading on Goodreads.

Katherine Kelley (she/her)
Faculty Librarian, Phone x8503
Katherine has worked in a variety of library settings from a county bookmobile to an art museum library.

Cassandra Miller (she/her)
Library Technician II, Phone x8632
Hi, I'm Cassandra and I’m one of the Library Technicians here at the LWTech Library. After a long and varied career, I earned an A.A. from Bellevue College in 2003 (where I worked in the library from 2001-2006) and a BA in History from the University of Washington in 2005. I joined the LWTech Library team in 2011. In addition to history, I also have an extensive knowledge of comics, sorry, graphic novels, as well as being an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy (especially older stuff). I’m also an expert on all things Doctor Who, if that interests anyone. If you need any information about these subjects, or if you just want to chat about the kings of England, comic books, SF or who my favorite Doctor is, come on by.
Sue Wozniak (she/her)
Faculty Librarian, Phone x8533
Sue has been a librarian at LWTech since 2018, after working with several other community college libraries in the area. She is a strong advocate for equity, diversity and inclusion, and is always looking to see where this can be applied in the library and community.
When not at the library Sue loves to spend time in movement and in nature, including hiking, biking, cross country skiing and with fall color. She also loves visual art, music and dance.
Please share ideas with her for making the library a place of learning and enjoyment.
