To the River Vale Community:
I will be retiring at the end of this month following 12 years as your library director. Under the direction of our Board of Trustees and with the support of the township, our library team has accomplished much over the last decade including an award-winning interior renovation, creation of a USS Enterprise CV-6 Collection, and the expansion of our collection and programming opportunities for the community.
The board and I are very pleased to share with you the news that your new library director is someone many of you already know—our technology librarian, Diane Sweatlock. Diane has helped countless members of our community with technology and general reference assistance over the years. She is also responsible for our extensive audiovisual collection and popular monthly movie programming. I share the confidence of the board in knowing that Diane will continue the evolution of the River Vale Public Library to benefit all members of our community.
River Vale is a community with a lot of heart. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve as your library director. Thank you very much and best wishes!
