Thank you! After eight years of dedicated leadership, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Tracey for all she has given to our library and community. Her care, steady guidance, and passion have left a lasting mark, and we’re grateful for everything she’s helped build during her time with us. We wish Tracey a joyful and well‑earned retirement filled with new adventures. As she steps into the role of Chief Librarian, Laura shared, “Having worked so closely with Tracey over the past few years, I’m deeply grateful for her leadership and excited to build on the library’s strong, community‑driven foundation with our amazing staff and board.”

If you identify as having a disability, we invite you to share your experiences by completing our Accessibility Survey. Your feedback will directly inform the changes we make. Deadline: April 6, 2026
