Lyn Cooke asked me to share the news and ask for help from the community. Mary Farrell is leaving and those “big shoes “need to be filled. We would like to ask for your thoughts and suggestions. – Lil
Most everybody in Walpole knows Mary Farrell, the smiling woman who has been Library Director of our library for the last four years and was the assistant director prior to that.
Under Mary’s gentle guidance our the Walpole Town Library has thrived. She and her staff have made it a “warm and welcoming” place enjoyed by children and adults alike. But on June 1st, Mary will be leaving Walpole, NH for Walpole, ME!
The challenge now for the Library Trustees is to find another great director. One who loves the job, her staff, and the public. One who has a keen and open mind. One who will continue the direction and expand the progress that has been made under Mary’s leadership.
Please help us find a new Director. Spread the word about the opportunity for the person with the right mix of qualifications and ability.
The Library Trustees have formed a Search Committee with the guidance of Lil DeCoste. Please feel free to share your thoughts as with any of them and send prospective candidates our way.
We want our Library to continue to thrive and we’re sure that you do as well! Thanks, in advance, for your help.
Hi Lil,
Are you still south and warm? I have seen no activity over your way. Hard to type, fingers cold, someday may turn heat up.
Noting sad news below, and fact you are on search team (well, in charge) — how about a piece for the CLARION to help with search, announce Mary’s leaving, etc. What ever you want — but, May issue deadline is 23 April.
Thanks, and let me know when you are back, RAY
