Hello!  My name is Molly Klenowski, and I am the new Adult Services Librarian here at the Whitman Public Library.  I am also filling the role of Assistant Library Director.  I am very excited to be working for and with your community, which has been so welcoming.

A bit about me: I grew up down the road in Brockton, MA.  I had many friends who lived in Whitman, and as such I spent much of my adolescence ordering coffee at Marylou’s or ice cream from Peaceful Meadows.

I have been working in libraries and archives for the past 5 years. I began by interning at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, MA while an undergrad at UMass Amherst. After receiving my MLIS from Simmons College I worked at the Norton Public Library and the Brockton Public Library. I also assisted in the fundraising and groundbreaking of a free lending library for a village in Nicaragua, which was a wonderful experience.

In my role here at the Whitman Public Library, you can expect me to help you find books, movies, music, or any other material you may need or want. I will be conducting classes this summer about downloading library eBooks and using our databases.  I can show you how to navigate our online catalog, or help you conduct research.

Please stop in and introduce yourself!
