Instructor(s)
Sarah Kittrell is the Collection Services Division manager for the Wichita (Kans.) Public Library and author of "The Bed Bug Guide for Public Libraries." Sarah has served as her library’s pest management coordinator since 2012 and has amassed extensive experience in the field. While she hates bed bugs with a fiery passion, she is happy to share everything she's learned about them with other libraries that are just experiencing their first introduction, or commiserate with those who have unfortunately already become familiar with the critters.
