The Friends of Eckhart Public Library invite the public to a meet-and-greet to welcome the library’s new executive director, Valerie Simmons, to both the library and the community.
The event will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 23, from 4-6 p.m. in the Close Community Room at the main library. Light refreshments will be served.
While Simmons comes to the library from Lane Public Library in Ohio, she grew up in northeast Indiana and often returned to visit family. Simmons, enthusiastic about her move to Indiana, said, “Coming back to the area not only fulfills professional aspirations, I’m also coming home.”
Simmons is excited to build community connections, explore potential partnerships, and is looking forward to serving established and new library patrons.
“My EPL colleagues are doing exceptional work, and I am excited to plan together for how we will evolve as a team and a library,”
