Going and Coming
posted 07/07/2010 Laura brought her talents and commitment to the Library not once, but twice: from 2001 to 2005 she was the Children’s Librarian and Assistant Director, and after honing her library and pastry-making skills, she returned to our Library in late 2006 as the Director. During her tenure the Library has evolved into a true community hub with growing collections of print and digital resources, more community outreach and services, more programming for children, teens, and adults, and more partnerships with other San Juan Island organizations to support a wide variety of activities across the community. She joined Soroptimists, became an Early Learning advocate, served on the Community Foundation Board, and participated with the education workgroup of the Critical Needs Task Force, bringing her broad knowledge of the community and a desire to expand the ways in which the Library could positively contribute to the lives of Islanders of all ages. She will be sorely missed, but leaves with a host of sincere wishes for success and happiness in her new position at The Lavenia McCoy Public Library in Bayfield, Colorado. Now the search has begun for a new Library Director. Resumes submitted from around the country are being reviewed, and candidates will be selected for initial telephone interviews. Then a few applicants will be invited to visit the Library and have in-person interviews before the Trustees make the final selection. Choosing a person who will truly fit into our community is essential. The challenge will be to find a special someone who will bring enthusiasm and skills to build on all that Laura has accomplished.
