Head Librarian - Library Services

B.S. Kalamazoo College,

I have been an active library user since I was old enough to be read to.  I have worked in libraries since I was a high school student and I have been a professional librarian since I earned my MA from the University of Chicago Graduate Library School.  I live with my wife, Kate, and some of my children and grandchildren in nearby Marlborough, NH.  Kate and I home schooled our own children until they entered high school.  I have been working in New Hampshire boarding schools for more than twenty years now.
