Jane Light has been Director of the San Jose Public Library System since 1997. She co-manages the unique Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library with the San Jose State University Library Dean and oversees a twenty building branch library development program funded by the largest public library bond measure ever passed in the United States. She is a recipient of the Public Library Association’s Charlie Robinson Award and has directed two libraries (San Jose and Redwood City) recognized by Library Journal as Library of the Year.

“The work and the fun of public library management is in leading people who care about libraries to fulfill the traditional mission by developing and using new service delivery models and mechanisms to meet the needs and interests of the 21st century user."
