DIRECTOR’S UPDATE Best wishes in the New Year. I am eager to start 2015 as the new Executive Director of Sandusky Library. I began my library career at Sandusky Library in 1985. I was the Assistant Director, Community Relations, in 1992 until 1995, when I became the Library Director of Bellevue Public Library. I am enthusiastic to be returning ‘home’! The progress of our current remodeling projects is very exciting. Children’s Services will take on a new look when the “Dive Into Reading” Early Literacy Center is complete. The Library is fortunate to have the generous support of local foundations. This project would not be possible without funds provided by The Randolph J. and Estelle M. Dorn Foundation, The Frost-Parker Foundation, The Mylander Foundation, The Sam S. and Rose Stein Foundation, and the Erie County Foundations’ Council of The Erie County Community Foundation. Additionally, work continues on our new Digital Media Studio, which will feature a capture studio with a green screen, a recording studio, an editing studio, and the equipment and software needed to allow residents to get creative with video, music, graphic design, and more. The Norbert A. Lange and Marion Cleaveland Lange Trust made a generous donation to the Library for construction of the studio. Completion of these two projects is expected by early spring. An open house featuring the new areas will be announced at a later date. Our newest Little Free Library, sponsored by Murray & Murray, LPA, is located in the church yard on North Water Street in Castalia (pictured right). The other three Little Free Libraries are in the following locations: the SPARC bus stop next to the Merry-Go-Round Museum on Jackson Street, near the gazebo in Facer Park on Shoreline Drive (Sandusky), and near the large playground and Shelter #2 at Osborn MetroPark (Perkins). I look forward to meeting you when you visit the Library, and I hope you take a few minutes to stop by the “Meet and Greet” on February 10.
