After more than 15 years of service at the Amherst Town Library, Sally Bartlett has retired.
Sally started working at the library as a Library Assistant in 1994. In 2004 she was promoted to Head of Circulation. In that role, not only did she manage the audio and video collections, but kept things running smoothly at the circulation desk. Sally greeted every patron with a warm smile and friendly manner. We wish her well.
