New Position

I will be the new head librarian at the Graceville Library beginning on June 1, 2009. Ann Lauer, librarian for 30 years, will retire effective June 1, 2009. I will be spending approximately 8 hours a week in Graceville and the remaining 32 in Ortonville. I will be hiring an assistant in Graceville who will work the remaining hours. I look forward to the challenge of serving the two libraries in Big Stone County.
