At the conclusion of the March 4 meeting of the Goodnow Library Trustees, the director of the library, Esme Green, informed the Trustees that she had accepted a position in Andover.
Green told the Trustees “So this is my last meeting, because I got a new job.” She went on to add “It feels very horrible, as well as good.” (17:35)
The Trustees were audibly surprised, and Chair Jean Nam guided the Trustees to adjourn the meeting so that the they could continue to discuss the news with Green.
Green took on her role at the Goodnow Library in 2011. She led the library through the Covid-19 pandemic, and oversaw an expansion of services through the years, including the launch of the popular “Library of Things.”
Green told Sudbury Weekly:
“It has been a privilege to serve the people of Sudbury and collaborate with such dedicated and talented colleagues. I sincerely appreciate my time here and have enjoyed witnessing the library evolve into a vibrant community center. The relationships I have built with both staff and community members are invaluable to me. I am grateful for the support I have received during my tenure and for the opportunity to contribute to the library’s success. While I am saddened to be departing, I am confident that the library will continue to thrive.”
