Aaron Rosenblum

Engagement & Education Coordinator

Aaron joined the ACLU of Maine in 2025. He collaborates within the organization and with external partners to engage our members and the public with the ACLU of Maine’s mission and critical work. Before joining ACLU of Maine, Aaron was an adult services librarian at the Portland Public Library, where he designed inclusive public health and sustainability programs and offered multi-lingual reference services. Prior to that, Aaron worked as a regional programs coordinator for the Louisville Free Public Library, producing adult programming on a wide range of topics across a busy and diverse urban library system. In these and other roles, he has consistently sought opportunities for innovative public engagement and outreach, with a focus on inclusion and accessibility. As an artist, he has performed across North America, produced radio programs and podcasts broadcast or distributed in the US, Europe, and the UK, and has exhibited and led workshops in libraries, schools, and museums in the eastern US. Aaron earned a Master of Library and Information Science degree from McGill University (2010), and a Bachelor of Arts in music and cultural studies from Hampshire College (2003). In his free time, Aaron can be found in the woods on a bicycle, at home creating sound and audiovisual art, or at the end of a leash wherever his dog leads him.
