Director's Cup
Cheery Friday Greetings!
Today I have happy news to share with you. As you know, the pandemic hit when SCRLC was in the middle of a search for a new digital services librarian. I am pleased to say that we completed the process and have hired a new digital services librarian--she joins us on Monday. Please welcome Claire Lovell!
Claire comes to SCRLC from the Manlius Library, where she served most recently as youth services librarian and before that, as their public services coordinator. Prior to Manlius, she worked for Central NY Library Resources Council (CLRC) in Syracuse, where among other responsibilities she was the project coordinator for New York Heritage. She also provided training and support for CLRC members in digitization, and managed library science interns for local NYH projects.
Since leaving CLRC, she maintained her interest and involvement in digitization through joining the board of the Manlius Historical Society. She wrote several grants to add local collections to NYH and has continued to promote it and digitization, in her words, “to everyone who might listen, because it is an underappreciated resource and fascinating diversion for every New Yorker, besides being an excellent showcase and advocacy tool for every member institution.”
Claire holds an MLIS from Syracuse University and a Bachelor of Arts in history from the University of Maine. We are very happy--ok, thrilled and excited--to welcome her back to the realm of multitype library consortia!
Yours in partnership,
Mary-Carol Lindbloom
Executive Director
