About me

Hello! My name is Chris Baker. I'm a Public Library Consultant with the Library Services Team, within the Division for Libraries and Technology of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. As a Public Library Consultant, I collaborate with and help advise public librarians and public library system staff throughout the state of Wisconsin on library-related partnerships and projects. I also work to build strong, sustainable relationships between public and school librarians in our communities throughout Wisconsin. My project portfolio includes intersectional work across numerous spaces, including workforce development & social services, digital equity and technology innovation, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, learning, literacy, & pedagogy. I am a subject matter expert in video games, gaming culture, and learning sciences found within well-designed games, and work on numerous projects in the games + learning space.
