Hi - I'm Angie

 

I’ve been part of the library team since 2010. I began as the part-time Children’s Librarian and later transitioned into the role of Library Director.

One of the most meaningful parts of my work is engaging with our community. With a history dating back to 1889, this library has long been a vital part of the town, and I’m proud to support its continued growth. Over the past decade, I’ve been fortunate to be part of several renovations and updates that help ensure our space and resources remain strong for future generations.

Memorable moments include hosting author visits from Chris Van Dusen and Ryan T. Higgins, welcoming patrons back after the COVID-19 lockdown, and distributing thousands of eclipse glasses so families could safely enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime event. It’s an honor to be part of the library’s ongoing story.

“The mission of the library is to empower every member of the community to explore, discover, and create.”

Hi - I'm Lydia

 

I'm a longtime patron of SFPL, having come here since I was a child, and it's one of my favorite places to be! That's why I was so excited to start working here as a library aide. I'm an avid reader (of fantasy mostly) and love getting to interact with all of our patrons.

Hi - I'm Emily

​

I’m a Massachusetts native who moved to Skowhegan just to be a part of this library team! I’ve been a professional book lover since starting my first job at Barnes & Noble back in 2014 through to my most recent job as the Programs Technician at an Air Force Base library in Florida. In between those, I’ve had several positions in education, including an English teacher in Japan, an ESL teacher in Massachusetts, and an online tutor with students all over the country! I love children’s literature and exchanging favorite books with young readers. I hope to maintain a fun and open-minded atmosphere up here on the children’s floor, where I’ll be happy to talk books, travel, crafts, dogs (tell your dog I said hi!), or any number of niche and nerdy topics!

 

 

Hi- I’m Bree

​

I started working at the Skowhegan Public Library in February of 2017 and it has been very different from what I thought working at a library would be like. It’s lively and has a very happy atmosphere. As the Adult Services Librarian, I love helping folks find new authors to try - and seeing how genuinely happy people are when they get a new book they’ve been waiting for makes my days brighter. I grew up an avid reader but as I got older my time was consumed with other things. Being a part of the library has made me realize that there is always time to open a good book and immerse yourself in a new world of perspectives!

Hi - I'm Nikki

 

I started working at the library in late 2023. I have over 17 years worth of experience working with computers and cell phones, a large part of that, teaching people how to use both. 

Working in the library has been a dream of mine for quite some time and I'm beyond grateful that I get to do so. I love reading, building a sense of community and I'm passionate about sustainability. 

​

My goal is to help make technology more accessible and to provide access to those who may not have it otherwise! I also hope to make tech a little less scary and intimidating. ​
