Jackie Keck Selected as
New Library Director |  |
This August, after Ashley Stewart's departure, the Caseyville Public Library District Board of Directors selected Jackie Keck as Library Director. Jackie has a history of work in libraries, archives, and museums, and over the years established a strong record of accomplishments, projects, and initiatives at the library. In 2022, Jackie completed the MLIS degree through University of Illinois. We are sure Jackie will do excellent work, supporting the library through this transition time, continuing to create an inclusive and welcoming space for staff and library users, and establishing a library that reflects the people of Caseyville and their needs.
