Jon Mark Bolthouse is a Executive Director at North Suburban Library District. He possess expertise in library science, library, library reference, digital libraries, collection development and 22 more skills. He is proficient in Japanese. Colleagues describe him as "Being Technology Projects Manager at SCLS is challenging to say the least with 60+ separate independent organizations all wanting, many times, 60+ different solutions with limited financial resources to pay for their requests. Admittedly, my organization was one of them putting pressure on SCLS to achieve goals we needed. I have always respected Jon Mark's ability to stay cool in high pressure situations and to give everyone a fair shake, especially when meetings become contentious. His willingness to at least meet halfway and many times to work tirelessly to find solutions that fully satisfy clients is admirable. When the answer had to be "no," it's done so with a detailed explanation that makes sense. We miss him in SCLS." and "Jon Mark is a wonderful person to work with. He's a real librarian in that he is able to find information quickly and he is able to share his knowledge with you in such a way that you never feel dumb for having asked. I learned a lot by working with him 10 years ago while we supported the LEEP distance education program and I value Jon Mark as a colleague to this day."
