Following the retirement of Teresa Newton, who dedicated nearly five decades of her life to the Lawrence County Public Library, the Board of Directors has appointed Marie Brennan, the former Assistant Director, as the new Director. This decision was revealed during a board meeting held on February 3.
Teresa Newton’s tenure at the library spanned an impressive 49 years, with the last 34 years spent in the role of Director. Her extensive experience and commitment to the library have left a significant mark on the community, and her departure marks the end of an era. The board’s choice of Marie Brennan reflects a desire to continue the legacy of excellence established by Newton while bringing fresh perspectives to the library’s future.
