The Most Fun Job in the Library: Meet KCPL Materials Receiving Specialist Nash High

Nash High, materials receiving specialist in the Collections Department, says their role is one you could describe as “the most fun job” in the Library.
“Every new book and CD and DVD gets shipped here,” High says, “and I’m the one who gets to open it up.”
Tapping connections to the Kansas City zine community, they helped launch the Library’s zine collection. More than 100 zines are now available for check-out near Central Library’s Film Vault, and patrons can also make their own.
“It makes me feel good to be a part of an organization that’s so welcoming, inclusive, and diverse,” High says, “And I feel like the Library does that and that’s our goal.”
