TDL Director Position OPEN
by Hope Nobel 31 May '18

31 May '18

Good afternoon, everyone - **Please excuse cross-postings. ** I've resigned as Director at TDL effective June 30th. The Board has requested that I plan to continue as Interim Director through September, and potentially as long as December, depending upon when a new director is found. For those enquiring minds who want to know, this change comes about because I'm recently engaged to an absolutely delightful man named Ben, and am moving to Grand Rapids after our wedding on August 4th. It has been a pure delight to work with the Board and staff here at TDL, and I continue to be amazed by the warmth and kindness of our patrons, so it's sad to contemplate leaving Tamarack and Lakeview. That said, I'm pretty excited and joyful about this new chapter. Watch for a director posting coming soon! Hope E. Nobel, M.S.L.S. Director Tamarack District Library P. O. Box 469 832 South Lincoln Avenue Lakeview, MI 48850 989.352.6274
