Director
Hi - I'm Angie
I'm SFPL's director, but I began working as the Children's Librarian in 2011 and ever since, I have become one of the lucky few that gets to say that I love my job. I am a vivacious reader, not only because I enjoy it, but also so I can recommend and discuss books with all of my patrons. It always makes me smile when I know I put the right book in the hands of the right person. My job is all about making people connect with books and the library in a positive way.

Gabrielle Hunter
Youth Services Librarian
Hi - I’m Gabrielle
I love books. I know...sounds obvious. But truth is truth, even if it has already been said by 10 billion mouths. I will be 10 billion and 1. My love for books started at 8 years old. I worked with the school librarian, re-shelving books once or twice a week. I still love to organize books. They are my favorite decorations too. Books create interactive environments with so much potential...ideas leaking out and influencing us with memories of good tales read, and promises of fantastic adventures to come, if we were just to stop, crack open a cover, and look inside.
Come visit me in the Tower here at the library and tell me about your favorite children's or young adult books. I am excited to learn more about authors I have yet to discover, as well as unfamiliar books and stories that inspired or still inspire you. I hope to get inspired too!

Josie Pease
Assistant Director / Technology Librarian
Hi - I'm Josie
I've been working in the library field since 2013, and am now the Assistant Director & Technology/Reference Librarian in the computer and genealogy lab here at the Skowhegan Public Library.
Like most who choose to work around books all day, I am an avid reader who loves to learn new things and examine new ideas. I got my undergraduate degree in Anthropology, so working in the genealogy department is extra special to me, as I get to help others explore their family history as well as the local history and culture (which are all things that I love to explore as well!) I also completed my Masters degree in Library and Information Science with a focus in technology back in May 2022.

Lydia Dore
Library Aide
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.

Bree Bussell-Fitzgerald
Adult Services Librarian
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!
