State Library of Ohio bids farewell to Deputy Director Roger Verny and
Board Member Lucille Hastings

 

Deputy State Librarian Roger Verny is retiring after fifteen years with
the State Library of Ohio. Roger oversaw many projects at the State
Library of Ohio during these years, including managing LSTA funds for
new and innovative programming throughout Ohio's library community
including the creation of a 24/7 virtual reference service and the
automation of 1,556 school libraries. He serves on the Ohio Historical
Records Advisory Board as well as a number of committees dealing with
statewide initiatives. Prior to joining the State Library, Roger served
in a variety of senior administrative positions at the University of
Cincinnati Medical Center. 

 

After ten years of service, Board Member Lucille Hastings's term
concludes at the end of 2008. Ms. Hastings's tenure includes service as
President of the State Library Board from 2003 to 2005 and
Vice-President from 2001 to 2003 and 2005 to 2006. Board President Dr.
George Paulson read the retirement resolution recognizing Hastings for
bringing to the State Library Board "superlative experience and
expertise from her tenure as President of the Holmes County District
Public Library Board of Trustees, member of the Ohio Educational Library
Media Association Board, president and founding member of the Mid-Ohio
Library Association and chair of the Ohio Pupil Teachers Reading Circle
Selection."

 

In addition to saying goodbye to Roger and Lucille, the board recognized
Cheri Wilks. Cheri is retiring after 24 years of service at the State
Library of Ohio. She has held several positions in the library's
Research Services and Library Programs and Development departments
including Reference Librarian and Library Consultant.
