Lani, the director of
Hendersonville Public Library in Sumnor County, Tennessee, is someone who really cares for the community of
Hendersonville. She has many goals for
the library that will benefit all citizens of Hendersonville. After coming to visit Tennessee with her
husband, they were inspired by the beauty of the mountains and moved here with their
two dogs, a rescued pit bull and a soft coated terrier, from New Jersey. Lani has a Bachelor of Arts in History
specializing in classical history. She is
multilingual and, in addition to English, speaks Latin and Ancient Greek. Hendersonville Public Library is a class five,
which means she leads a full staff of seven
full time employees and ten part time employees. I am impressed. Long range planning and project managing are
among her many qualified skills, but what she likes most about being a library
director is when customers tell her the library has been an asset to them. This tells me Lani sincerely cares for the
citizens of Hendersonville. Her future
goals are to increase circulation by 3% per year, increase card holders by
letting the community know about the services of the library, and increase
active partnerships, such as the school board, seniors, and other organizations
of the community. When Lani is not
serving her community, she is knitting, gardening, or walking the beautiful
landscapes of Tennessee with hopes of traveling to Italy one day.
