Dear community members,
I am excited and honored to introduce myself as the new Library Director. Many of you already know me from my work as a part-time Library Assistant and Technology Trainer, where I have enjoyed helping with programs, technology, and everyday library services. Having worked in libraries for over 15 years, I truly value the important role libraries play in connecting and enriching our community.I would like to express my gratitude to Judy Luster for her years of dedicated service to our library and community. I appreciate the strong foundation she built, and I am thankful for the opportunity to have worked alongside her during my time on staff.Our library is an important part of this community, and I am committed to keeping it welcoming, helpful, and responsive to your needs. I look forward to continuing to support lifelong learning, access to technology, and programs that bring people together.Please feel free to stop by, say hello, and share your ideas. I would love to get to know each of you and hear your suggestions for the library.Warmly, Loida Garcia Library Director Meigs Decatur Public Library
