Letter from the Director
by Sally Tornow
The President of the New Milford Public Library Board of Trustees, Dr. Joanne M. Lillis, announced today the appointment of Jodi L. Weisz, MLIS of Danbury, CT as the new Director of the New Milford Public Library effective October 1, 2019 pending the retirement of Sally Tornow who will be retiring October 4, 2019 as the NMPL director after 25 years of service.
Jodi comes to us with a great breadth of experience, and a positive, energetic attitude toward the future.
Most recently she served as the East Side Branch Librarian with the Bridgeport Public Library where she was instrumental in establishing a community-centric neighborhood branch library from the ground-up that is culturally attuned and committed to responsive programming.
Prior to this, her background as a Spanish speaking professional Librarian incorporates assignments with both the Danbury Public Library and the New York Public Library.
She earned her Master of Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The selection of Jodi L. Weisz as library director was the result of the efforts of the Library Selection Committee with the support of the Mayor and the Library Board members.
