Schaumburg library hires deputy director

The Schaumburg Township District Library has hired Monica Harris, formerly of the Oak Park Public Library, to be its new deputy director.

Harris was presented with the Library Journal Mover and Shaker award for being an innovator in 2010 and was recognized as a Fellow of the Inaugural Association Leadership Academy in March of this year. Her specialties include customer service, new media and collection development.

“We are so excited to have Monica bring her extensive public library experience,” said Stephanie Sarnoff, executive director of the library. “Her background in customer service, staffing, training and new technology for libraries will be a great asset to STDL.”
