"The most important asset of any library goes home at night –
the library staff."
- Timothy Healy
Current Staff
Nichole Lauko
Director
Astral Sign: Cancer
Years in Library Service: I started as a part-time librarian in April 2017 and became director in January 2019.
A Favorite Book: The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
A Favorite Joke or Quote: "The merit of all things lies in their difficulty." - Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers
Their Favorite Thing About Libraries: I have a lot of favorite things about libraries. From a user perspective, the ability to check out books, movies and more opens my world to so much more. From a librarian perspective, it is one of the best hidden gems of a job. Books are only part of libraries, patrons are the heart and soul. They are the reason we do what we do and why I love my job (besides our wonderful and supportive Board of Trustees and librarians!) The more services, programs, events and materials we can supply to our patrons, the more we can build a community that can grow and rely on one another. My goal for our library is to be the community center where everyone can share their talents and stories with each other and to experience new things and create lasting relationships. I certainly hope you'll stop by and see what we have to offer!

A Favorite Book: All About Love by Bell Hooks
A Favorite Quote: "Otherwise, I love to eat and drink-and I love to argue with people who do not disagree with me too profoundly, and I love to laugh. I do not like bohemia, or bohemians, I do not like people whose principal aim is pleasure, and I do not like people who are earnest about anything... I think all theories are suspect, that the finest principles may have to be modified, or may even be pulverized by the demands of life, and that one must find, therefore, one's own moral center and move through the world hoping that this center will guide one alright. I consider that I have many responsibilities, but none greater than this: to last and get my work done."- James Baldwin
Their Favorite Thing About Libraries: I have always loved being in libraries, whether I'm reading books or checking out the programs, since I was a child. It's a place to serve the community and I'm glad to be a part of that!
