Health & Wellness

Hello! My name is Erin DeSantis and I am the Health & Wellness Librarian for the Kenton County Public Library. I focus the majority of my time on bringing wellness programs to the library community. I grew up going to the Covington Library as a child, it was a very important place for me so much so that I focused my career there. I have worked for the Kenton County Public Library for 21 years. I received a Master of Library Science in 2006 while I was a Children's Programmer. I then worked for some time as a Teen Librarian supporting adolescents at the Covington Library. In my personal life in 2018, I decided to become a Yoga Instructor and began a 300-hour yoga teacher training, when I was certified I began offering community classes at the library. During the pandemic, the library enabled me the opportunity to serve the community with online practices. It was apparent that hosting health & wellness programs for the community was very important, making wellness accessible to all just like everything else the library stands for so I have recently transitioned into the role of Health & Wellness Librarian.
