Lisle Library names new director

The Lisle Library District board of trustees has appointed Katharine Seelig as director of the Lisle Library.

Seelig, who had been acting as the interim director of the library since August, accepted the position on Dec. 11.

"Ms. Seelig's combination of 33 years of experience with the Lisle Library District, her leadership skills, and her cutting-edge knowledge of technology make her an excellent choice," said Richard Flint, president of the Lisle Library board.

"We are pleased that her professional skills and commitment as a library leader created this opportunity to promote internally."

Seelig began her employment with Lisle Library as director of reference in 1981. She has been assistant director and network administrator since 1994.

Seelig has a master's degree in library science from Rosary College (now Dominican University) and has taken classes at College of DuPage in local area network management and administration. She continues to attend workshops and conferences to stay abreast of new technology advances.
