Show Notes
Liz Doucett, the outgoing director of Brunswicks Curtis Memorial Library, is retiring after nearly two decades, transforming the library into a thriving community hub. Starting as a marketing professional, Doucett found her passion in libraries, inspired by her familys legacy. She navigated challenges like recessions, closures, and funding issues, thanks to a dedicated staff, supportive board, and community backing. Doucetts tenure saw the librarys endowment grow to over eight million dollars, innovative programs like the Library of Things and electric vehicle bookmobile, and successful exhibits drawing thousands of visitors. As she retires, Doucett looks forward to painting, boating, and volunteering, while the library continues to evolve with new renovations and a search for her successor.
