Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird on Friday announced that Ryan Wieber will be the new Director of Lincoln City Libraries. Wieber is the current Director of Kalamazoo Public Libraries in Michigan.
He will replace Pat Leach, who retired at the end of August after 40 years of service to the City of Lincoln, including 14 as the previous library director. Wieber will begin his new job on December 8.
“I am excited to arrive in Lincoln and begin leading a superb library system with strong ties to its communities,” Wieber says. “It is especially evident the City recognizes the value of its libraries, and I am thrilled to begin meeting our staff, stakeholders, and residents, and continuing excellence in public library service.”
