Branch Manager - Blanca Hannan

Born and raised in Dayton, OH, Blanca Hannan joined the DML team in 2021 as a library substitute. It didn’t take long for her to realize that her passion for helping others and her love of reading made this the perfect career path for her. She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies from Sinclair and Wright State University and graduated from Kent State University with her MLIS in 2024. Outside of reading and discussing books, she enjoys playing volleyball and spending time with her family. As a lifelong library enthusiast, she’s thrilled to serve the community and the library where she was raised.
