Jo Bonell Library Director

As Director, I am responsible for the library’s budget, building, and staff. I work closely with the Board of Trustees to define and meet the library’s strategic goals, as well as representing the library in community organizations. My door is always open to residents with questions, concerns, or compliments about their library.

As Assistant Director, I work with the Director and the Department Heads to maintain our great services and try out new ideas and projects. It is a great pleasure to serve a community that uses their library with such enthusiasm. If you have any compliments or concerns about the library, please contact me!

Joanie Sebastian Head of Adult Services

My department chooses the books, magazines, movies, music, and research databases for older teens and adults; in other words, everything on the third and fourth floors. We also teach technology classes, lead book discussions, deliver outreach materials, and provide readers’ advisory and research assistance to teen and adult patrons.

Michelle Meyer-Edley Head of Patron Accounts Services

My department handles everything related to your patron account and other first floor services. If you have a question about your account, want to book a meeting room, or need to figure out where that one stray picture book went, our staff can help.

Elizabeth Majka Head of Youth Services

My department focuses on library materials, resources, and programs for birth through 8th grade. Whether you’re looking for storytimes for the littlest library users, a book club for bigger kids, or a take-home art project to do together, we have a full schedule of programming throughout the year. Visit us on the second floor to play in our Early Literacy Play Area, read in the shade of the Poet Tree, and say “Hello” to the fish!
