The Swan’s Island Library announced the departure of Olivia Jolley as our executive director in March. She made a difficult decision and is pursuing other opportunities off island. Olivia has left a lasting imprint in her short time with us. We wish her the very best.
With Olivia’s departure, we are delighted to have Megan Tripler on board joining us as the Library Administrator. Megan, who has an advanced degree in library sciences, is working behind the scenes, ensuring the smooth operation of SIES. The library itself will be staffed by volunteers, a summer intern, our indefatigable Island Institute fellow, Taylor Rossini, all coordinated by board member Karin Hagopian Draper. Expect to see many friendly faces, and let us know if you’d like to be one of them – we always welcome new volunteers!!!
