For years, the Whitesboro Public Library has been a valuable community resource, but new Library Director Christine Swiler hopes even more residents will discover everything it has to offer.

Having worked at the library for the past couple of years, Swiler recently stepped into the director's role and is focused on making the library a welcoming, active gathering place for people of all ages.

A lifelong reader who has been married to her high school sweetheart for more than 30 years and raised three children, Swiler says her favorite part of the job isn't the books-it's the people.
