With mixed emotions, we bid farewell to our director, Lisa Shaw. Lisa, it has been our privilege to work under your guidance these last two years. You have led our library down exciting paths that have been of great benefit to not only the library staff and patrons, but to the citizens of Caribou as well. We promise to put every effort into maintaining the forward-thinking, compassionate and welcoming atmosphere you have created here at the Caribou Public Library. We will miss you terribly, but are excited for you and your family as you embark on this incredible new adventure. Please remember to come see us when you are back in the 'Bou. You, dear friend, will always be welcome home.
