The Withee Public Library has just hired a new librarian, and she just recently assumed her new duties. She is Gina Mueller, the wife of Father Tom Mueller of Holy Assumption Orthodox Church in Lublin. She is the mother of two boys, Elijah, age 8, and Savva, Age 3 ½.

Mrs. Mueller is a graduate of the University of New Brunswick, Canada and holds a BA Degree, and also a post graduate degree in Library Science from the University of Toronto. She has worked as a children’s librarian at the Ottawa New School, Ottawa, and the Milwaukee Public Library, and also as library assistant in regional libraries in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada and in Western New York State.

Mrs. Mueller hopes that many people will come and use the library. Although it is small, there are many books for children and adults, and she will be buying more soon.

The new library hours will be on Tuesday from 2:00 till 4:00, and Friday from 6:30 to 9:00.

Mrs. Mueller also intends to start a library story hour soon for three and four year olds.

The present members of the library board which hired Mrs. Mueller are Ted Kafka, Louis Olszewski and Mrs. Martin Keskimaki.
