It has been a few months (six to be exact) since we had a Teen Librarian at our Glendale Branch. Sometimes hiring someone new takes a while when you have an organization with over 300 staff,  and positions opening up all the time. We wanted to find the perfect person for our Glendale neighborhood​, someone who really knows the community, and has experience working with young people. Well, you've waited long enough....Introducing Saia, our newest Teen Librarian!

​Here he is to tell you a little about himself:

Hey my name is Saia Langi ( sigh-ah. long-ee)  and I am the new Teen librarian at the Glendale Branch. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance! I am a typical millennial that likes to daydream about living in a van and may watch a little too much anime for my own good.

Stories and telling stories are in my blood; passed down by my ancestors over thousands of miles of waves and open ocean. Due to this, I think it’s fitting that I find myself in this position working for the City Library so let me tell you a short story about myself.




For twenty eight rotations around the sun I have called Glendale home and I am a proud Westsider of Salt Lake City. I attended East High School and the University of Utah where I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Sociology & Ethnic Studies. In my career, I have been involved in education and community programming specifically aimed at youth who find themselves on the margins of society.  As a kid who did not think he would graduate high school, let alone college, I decided that I wanted to give back and help the youth in my community. 

Though I am passionate about where I come from, my first love was the written word-especially poetry. Poetry has been a means to express my inner world and allow the overflow of emotions to seep over the pages of my notebook and connect with others around me. I enjoy performance poetry though most times I prefer to lose myself between blue lines on white paper. 

I am honored to be a part of the Salt Lake City Public Library team and I am excited to work and connect with all of you. I am an open book and I love to chat so hit me up in an email anytime!
