Miranda Doyle (she/her) is a librarian for the Southern Oregon Education Services District, currently supporting schools in the Klamath County School District. She works remotely from Portland with elementary, middle, and high school library staff. Her duties include collection development, library software support, training, and assisting with planning an annual library symposium. 

Previously, Doyle was a branch manager for the San Francisco Public Library; she has worked in public and school libraries for more than 25 years and was an adjunct faculty member at the University of San Francisco and Portland State University. As the Intellectual Freedom Advocate for the Oregon Association of School Librarians for the past 10 years, Doyle supported libraries throughout Oregon as they faced book challenges and other censorship issues in these precarious times. 

Though she recently turned the position over to a colleague, she is still working on these issues. Other interests include building diverse collections, promoting equity and anti-racist work in libraries, and the effective use of information technology in education.
