Lainie Yank

Reference Assistant

I started working as a Reference Assistant for Adult Services at Whitefish Bay Public Library in October of 2025. As a current student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I'm pursuing an MLIS degree with a public library concentration and an MA in English with a concentration in literature and cultural theory. I was so excited to start the Reference Assistant position because I hope to work as a full-time librarian after graduation. When I'm not studying, teaching, or tutoring--or at the library--I can be found watching a Brewers game, at a local trivia night, or going to a concert in Milwaukee.

About Whitefish Bay Public Library

A library that is just about lending books seems so last century, doesn’t it?

That’s our philosophy at the Whitefish Bay Public Library, anyway. We believe that everything that we do, we do to make a difference in someone’s life. Creating connections. Building community. Collecting stories. Sure, we have books, but we’re SO much more.

Our Story
