The goal of the My Librarian program at Multnomah County Library (MCL), Portland, OR, launched in April 2014, is to create a virtual space that ignites that same spark of connection and delight that patrons experience when they engage in person with library staff about books, thus building relation- ships and community and providing service at the patron's point of need. With the help of a grant from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation through the library's private fundraising partner, the Library Foundation, we created a photo-based menu of 17 staff members with a wide variety of interests and passions. The rich photographs; revealing, engaging bios; and first-person descriptions of what intrigues and inspires the My Librarian staff are reminiscent of online dating. Patrons can request personal recommendations from the librarian of their choice, through the channel most convenient for them: email, phone, video chat, or in person, as well as browsing curated lists and blog entries.

Allen家庭基金会通过图书馆的私人筹款合作伙伴图书馆基金会的赠款的帮助下，我们创建了一个由17位工作人员组成的基于照片的菜单，这些菜单具有各种兴趣和爱好。丰富的照片；揭示引人入胜的BIOS；以及什么引起了My Librarian员工的兴趣和启发的第一人称描述让人想起网上约会。赞助人可以通过他们最方便的渠道，从他们选择的图书馆员那里获得个人推荐：电子邮件，电话，视频聊天或面对面，以及浏览策划列表和博客条目。
