Reading Public Library, Reading, MA — Eileen Barrett, our wonderful Reference & Local History Librarian, is retiring! Help us thank Eileen for 17 years of dedicated, knowledgeable, and creative service while wishing her a happy retirement at this Open House.
During her tenure, Eileen has been passionate about bringing local art to the library by organizing art installations in the library and programming art workshops, from painting to collage and more, for patrons. Just a few of Eileen’s many other contributions include directing the ever-popular Foreign Affairs series, educating the community on energy efficiency and native plants, and bringing the local history collection up to the latest preservation standards. Eileen is also instrumental in Reading’s Art Walk, which establishes a community-wide art exhibit at downtown businesses.
Join us in the Studio for this celebration on Thursday, April 28, from 1:00 pm– 3:00 pm.
