The Library Director
“Yes, I am retiring at the end of May after serving as Library Director for 27 years. I was hired as Library Director and began working in May 1984” said Mr. Schaffer. “I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve in this position. This community deserves credit for supporting this library, both financially and in other ways, with the result that this library has developed into a dynamic institution. Not only does the Massena Public Library offer great resources, but it has developed into an active cultural center. As Director, I have enjoyed the great variety of duties from selecting new books and DVDs to organizing concerts, art shows and other cultural events. I suppose what I have liked most about my job is the great variety of responsibilities: from creating budgets to helping individuals find information to writing grants. Of course, I have enjoyed working with very nice people who work on the staff and who serve on the board. It is with mixed feelings that I am leaving.” MORE ABOUT PAUL AND THE LIBRARY INSIDE...
