The Pottstown Regional Public Library Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Michelle Kehoe has been appointed as the new Executive Director, effective Nov. 8.

Michelle’s background includes an impressive list of experience as Township Manager at Union Township; Library Director at Wernersville Public Library in Wernersville and Library Manager and Children’s Library Coordinator at Boone Area Library in Birdsboro.

Michelle received a BA in History and Art History from Lycoming College, certification as a Library Technical Director from Northhampton Community College, and a MS in Library Science from Clarion University.

Michelle is notable for her ability to bring together the many stakeholders in a modern library, including elected officials; state, county and municipal offices; donors; patrons; media; and foundations or other sources of grants.

Michelle has been on the staff at the Library since April 2012; she has had time to become fully engaged in the adult, teen and children’s programs, and stated, “That’s how I knew I loved the Pottstown region, and why I wanted to lead the organization”.

The retiring Executive Director, Susan Davis, who has been with the Library since 2012 said, “I am thrilled to be able to leave the Library in Michelle’s care, who I know will be able to take it well into the future.”

Please join the Board of Directors in congratulating Michelle on her new position. Stop in at the library to meet Michelle, and to see the extensive renovations completed, including new carpeting installed this month in the Youth Department.
