The Next Chapter City will miss Christian Esquevin’s 30-year leadership at the library as he looks forward to retirement By LESLIE CRAWFORD
W
hen it was announced in November that Christian Esquevin was retiring from his position as director of library services for the Coronado Public Library, I think a collective sad sigh rose from Coronado. Christian has been on the job for 30 years, and only the 12th library director since the library opened in 1890. Christian has moved our library forward progressively through the years and leaves a legacy that isn’t just about books but promotes the arts, music and education that will benefit Coronado for years to come. A broad range of music and lecture programs are ongoing events throughout the year.
