Donna Olson passed away Friday morning. She was the Library Director at Salem-South Lyon District Library from 2016 until her retirement February 4, 2021 following a long career of public service. Prior to SSLDL, she spent 14 years as an Information Specialist at Howell Carnegie District Library. She worked tirelessly to put library resources into the hands of the community for library users and non-users alike. Donna believed that "The finest libraries are not only buildings - they are a vision and a service, the best of ourselves that we offer to others." One of her greatest accomplishments as Director was the $1.2 million Youth Expansion in June 2019. The expansion has provided an additional meeting room, Tween area, and additional space for our growing community. SSLDL will continue to benefit from her leadership for many years to come. Her family intends to have a celebration for her in the months to come. -- Paulina Poplawska Library Director Salem-South Lyon District Library 9800 Pontiac Trail, South Lyon, MI 48178 248.437.6431 x206 www.ssldl.info
