Maureen Darcy Retires
Photo of Maureen Darcy taken on January 23, 2013

Tuesday, January 29th, is Maureen Darcy's last day working at the Howland Public Library. Maureen was hired on June 30, 1986. She has managed our busy Circulation Department for many of her 26.5 years on the job and served as Acting Library Director several times.  Maureen has been described as "the heart of the library".  She invested herself in the service of all who use HPL and in those who have had the privilege of working with her.  Stop by before the 29th to thank Maureen and to wish her well!
