Tiverton welcomes new director
After an extensive search, the Tiverton Library Services Board of Trustees has announced the appointment of Ann Grealish-Rust as the new director of Tiverton’s public library. Prior to her appointment at Tiverton, Ann was the director of the public library in Dighton, Massachusetts where she had worked for 14 years.
According to the search committee, Ann stood out for her depth of experience in a library building project, including her participation in a capital campaign, successful grant writing for funds for planning, design, and construction of a new library, and innovative programming under her leadership. Tiverton is currently planning to build a new green library to replace the outdated Essex Public Library building.
Ann holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth and earned her MLIS at Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science. We welcome her to the Rhode Island library community!
