We are pleased to introduce our new Library Director, Shauna Anderson. Shauna most recently served as the Assistant Director of Taylor Community library (Taylor, MI) where she set the vision for public services and experiences to enrich the community. As the former Supervisor of Young Adult Services at Skokie Public Library (Skokie, IL), Shauna spearheaded the use of restorative practices in public libraries, built out the framework for an all-ages experiential learning lab, and re-imagined services that vastly increased library participation for young people.
Drawing from a diverse background in education, technology, and community development, Shauna knows that strong public libraries are at the heart of close-knit communities. She is committed to building on established library practices to provide learning experiences that are social, participatory, interest-driven, and relevant for people of all ages and backgrounds. That effort depends on cultivating an empowered team of staff who find joy in their work and seek out meaningful connections with patrons.
Shauna holds an MSi from the University Of Michigan School Of Information with a double-specialization in Library Science and Community Informatics.
Some of you may remember Shauna, as she previously served as a Teen Librarian here in Plymouth. Her first day as Director of the Plymouth District Library will be Monday, June 21. Please join us in extending a warm “Welcome!”
