Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Matt Willis Named New Willard Library Director

Congratulations to Matt and the Battle Creek community!

I met Matt at Eastern Michigan University way, way back in the day and we have remained close friends since. (He is the person who actually first recommended that I think about going to library school!) He is a person of great character and empathy who spends loads of time thinking about the vocation, the Willard Library and his community. I sincerely believe that the board of trustees made a great decision in picking him to next carry the torch for Willard.

Cheers,

Steven Kish
