Southington library director resigns By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff
Southington Public Library Director Kristi Sadowski has resigned, citing health concerns. She leaves the position as town leaders debate how best to build a library for the $17 million voters approved at referendum last year.
Sadowski was hired in 2018, taking the place of Sue Smayda. Sadowski was the director of Coventry’s library for eight years before taking the Southington position. In addition to the library, she heads the Barnes Museum as well. Sadowski notified town officials of her resignation by email Oct. 24, citing the need to “prioritize her health and well being.”
Sadowski’s last day was Oct. 26. “I am very proud of the work I have done over the past four years and the trajectory in which both the Southington Public Library and Barnes Museum are headed,” Sadowski wrote. “I wish you and the future of both organizations nothing but the best of luck.”

Tina Riccio, library board chairwoman, said it’s a busy time for the library, the director in particular. “She has been out a lot for some medical reasons,” Riccio said. “I think it just became too much with the demand of this situation … I think she just decided to put her health first.”
