The Source Summer 2013
From the Director’s Desk I am truly thrilled to join to the WinnetkaNorthfield Public Library District as the new director. Already, I’m enjoying working with the creative, community-focused, and forward-thinking staff and board. I’m looking forward to finding new and innovative ways to deliver library services that build on our tradition of excellence. I would like to thank the Board of Trustees for giving me the opportunity to lead the library district. As I step into my new role, I would like to hear what you think! My goal is to be active in the community and make sure the library is meeting Winnetka-Northfield’s needs.
If you have any ideas, suggestions or questions, please contact me at (847) 446-7220. As you head to work, school, or a summer retreat, remember that our Friends of the Library are always looking for paperbacks to keep the shelves at the train station full. Please feel free to donate your paperbacks to the Friends at the Library at any of our locations. As summer approaches, the staff is busy finalizing plans for an adventure-filled summer reading club, a new teen space, and revamping the library’s website. With so many exciting things happening, I encourage you to book a trip and visit the library this summer! -Rebecca Wolf Library Director
