| | New Roles, Same Friendly Faces | |
After many years of dedicated service, our Library Director, Christina Jennerich, has retired. We are incredibly grateful for her leadership and commitment to the Marlboro Free Library over the years, and we wish her all the best in this next chapter.
Stepping into the role of Director is Lindsay Jankovitz, who first started at the Marlboro Library in 2017 as our Adult Services Librarian, and has been the Assistant Director since 2021.
In addition, Tessa DeBella, who many of you know from story times and our youth events, will now be taking on the role of Adult Services Librarian and Programmer.
We are also excited to share that Library Clerk, Sydney Corwin, will be stepping into the Children’s Programmer role, and continuing our tradition of dynamic and innovative youth programming.
Stop by and say hello!
