Shirley Gealy will be retiring this year after
working for almost 20 years at the Library,
most currently as the Program Coordinator.
She isn’t going very far (yet) so you will still
see her around the Library, but if
you see her, wish her good luck!
A new program coordinator will be starting
soon, so watch for details to welcome the
Library’s newest staff member. Thank you for
your patience through this staffing transition.
