CARIBOU, Maine — Former reference librarian at Presque Isle’s Turner Memorial Library, Lisa Neal Shaw, was recently hired to be the new director at the Caribou Public Library.
Shaw is slated to step in at the library on Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2014; Assistant City Manager Tony Mazzucco had been acting as the interim director since Diane DuBois retired in June.
City Manager Austin Bleess thinks that Shaw will have a positive effect on the library.
“I think Lisa is going to help us transform the library into a 21st century library,” he said on Tuesday, mentioning that he anticipates the library will be more active and visible in the community.
Shaw shared on Facebook last week, “I am so grateful to everyone at the City of Caribou for the faith they are placing in me and will work my hardest to make it well placed. I am equally grateful to the City of Presque Isle for the many opportunities they have given me to learn, develop, and grow.”
