The Hays Public Library has hired a new Young Adult Coordinator. Cheyenne Rowe, who previously worked at HPL as a library assistant, will facilitate library programs for teens while connecting them to books and other resources the library has to offer.

Rowe, originally from Dighton, graduated from Fort Hays State University with a degree in music performance and is in the process of getting a master’s degree in education. For the past two years she has taught music at Great Bend Middle School.

When asked why she wanted to return to HPL, Rowe said, “I’m excited to work in a space that blends books, creativity, and community in one place. But, more importantly, I'm very interested in building onto the awesome foundation that my predecessor put in place with the teens. There's something special about creating a space where young adults feel seen, heard, and inspired to build upon their knowledge and connect with other people in the community.”

Rowe began working at the Hays Public Library on May 19, 2025.
