This Week in Chester History

In 2009, the Observer-Tribune welcomed Lesley Karczewski as the new Director here at Chester Library. They highlighted her tech-savviness and the fresh innovation she brought with her new leadership: laptop computers, online databases, a collection of video games, and the ability to print documents. In her interview, she expressed an interest in community outreach, saying people “get busy with their lives and they forget about the local library. It’s a pleasure to have someone who hasn’t been here in a number of years and walk in and say, “oh  my God, I had no idea!””
