2. It is hard for me to believe this will be my last posting of Directions. I will be retiring on June
1st after the privilege of twenty-eight years serving as your Executive Director. My time here
has been the most rewarding, challenging and exhilarating of my professional life.
I have been honored to work with passionate people who invest in making our community
an even better place to live, work and play. From the board members, staff and volunteers
who have worked tirelessly for the success of our beloved library and community to the
remarkable young staff members who inspire me with their wonder and passion for our
future, I am grateful to the countless people who have taught me so much.
The Westerville Public Library is an amazing place. I love the way we helped invent and
popularize a full range of library services, the bigness and boldness of our ideas, and our
willingness to accept and embrace our employees’range of talents and capabilities. I love
the way we work with other partners to enhance our community and succeed together. And
I love the breadth and diversity of our customers, people of all backgrounds and age groups.
I am proud of what we have achieved. We have grown from a small community library to a
nationally recognized library system, consistently ranked among the very best in the country.
I am excited by our continuing mission of empowering the community and customers and
believe strongly in our library’s future success. The privilege of leading this organization is an
honor I will always cherish.
