Please join the Verona Public Library Board of Trustees on Thursday, November 14, for a Meet & Greet with the Library’s new Director Claudine Pascale. Light refreshments will be served as we officially welcome Ms. Pascale from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Library at 17 Gould Street. The event is open to the public and there is no cost to attend.
Verona residents may have already had the opportunity to meet Pascale, who began the position of Library Director on September 3. Pascale will lead the strategic planning process as the Library plans for the next few years in its newly renovated and expanded space.
Prior to coming to Verona, Pascale had been the director of the Caldwell Free Public Library for four years. During her tenure heading up the Caldwell Library, she was responsible for collaborative efforts with community organizations, developed a three year strategic plan, increased access to digital materials, organized various programs to highlight the community’s history during a year-long centennial celebration, and chaired the Caldwell Public Library Foundation’s Centennial Gala committee, which raised nearly $30,000.
Pascale is actively involved in the PALS Plus Consortium to which the Verona Public Library belongs. Prior to directing the Caldwell Library, Pascale was the director of the Fairview Library. She also has previous experience working for Cliffside Park Public Library and the Rutherford Public Library.
The Verona Library’s Winter 2019/20 Newsletter is not only beautiful but extremely informative for all age groups. The numerous events and activities that are available are just fantastic. Verona residents are very fortunate to have Mrs. Pascale as the Director of our library.
