## Resource

Pierson Library’s beloved director Michael Hibben is stepping down September 20th after three transformative years — turning the library from pandemic recovery mode into a bustling hub with 730 programs and 15,000 attendees this year. His unexpected journey to librarianship led him to Shelburne, where he’ll miss the community deeply. Circulation supervisor Karen Chatfield will serve as interim director while the board reviews new applications. Hibben urges everyone to keep valuing libraries as essential spaces for connection and learning — and invites you to celebrate his legacy at a reception on Sept. 17th from 4:30 to 6 PM.
