Holly Riccio

As the daughter of two librarians, law librarianship is in Holly Riccio’s professional DNA. Her role as the Director of the California Judicial Center Library follows a career spent in library and knowledge management positions in law firms. In her first few months on the job while the impact of the pandemic threatened to backlog the courts, Holly was instrumental in helping the courts transition from print-centric to offering research options for those required to work remotely. She continues to lead the process of digitizing legislative history and making more access points for library resources. Holly’s passion for the legal information profession is unmistakable and has manifested in her many volunteer roles with both AALL and ILTA, including serving as President of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) from 2014-2015. Among her activities as AALL President, she testified before the ABA Commission on the Future of Legal Services on various access to justice issues. She now serves as Government Law Libraries Special Interest Section Vice Chair/Chair-Elect. In 2019, Holly was recognized by her colleagues in the Northern California Association of Law Libraries chapter with the Professional Achievement Award. She has proven herself to be an ambassador for librarianship, not only within law librarian communities, but across the legal field in general.
