3. Interview with Jennifer Patterson

Join the VOTO Team as they interview Thousand Oaks Library Services Director, Jennifer Patterson. Jennifer has worked in library systems for over ten years before officially joining the Thousand Oaks Library on February 1st, 2022. In this episode, Jennifer and the team discuss her history and passion for libraries, celebrity encounters, everyone's pet cats, and the joys of finding hidden treasures while antiquing.

After recording, the VOTO Team realized that they had forgotten to ask Jennifer something she would like to recommend at the end of the episode. They reached out to ask the question later, and this was her response:

"I am going to go off the beaten path for a bit and recommend a show for all of the cooks/foodies out there. I am into watching cooking competitions and one of my favorites right now is Next Level Chef on FOX. This is a unique cooking competition as chefs are divided into three teams and faced with themed challenges in a three story high kitchen. Each floor contains a strikingly different kitchen. From the glistening top floor to the challenging bottom of the basement, the ingredients match the environment. Each team is mentored by one of three famous chefs: Gordon Ramsay, Nyesha Arrington, or Richard Blaise. Every week brings new challenges for the chefs and they race to grab ingredients off a platform and complete their dishes in time. Highly entertaining."
