Kim DiLego

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Longtime Youth Services Librarian Kim DiLego rose to the top of a field of candidates and will be named to replace Robin Martin in a combined position of assistant director/reference librarian for the North Adams Public Library.

The selection committee, including Harris Elder and Hulda Jowett from the Board of Trustees and Mindy Hackner and Carole Perras from the library staff, sifted through 22 submissions and interviewed six strong candidates. Although each of the candidates brought something valuable to consider, DiLego was the unanimous choice based on her 20 years of experience at the library, her familiarity with library procedures, and the depth of her local history knowledge.  

“When you have someone with her skills and abilities, it’s almost a foregone conclusion that she is first choice,” said Hackner.

Hackner notified the other candidates of the group’s decision by phone on Tuesday.

DiLego earned her masters of library information science from the State University of New York Albany campus in August of 2005 and her bachelor of arts degree from Westfield State University in 1989. She has been employed by the City of North Adams and the library since 1998. She and her husband Paul have one daughter Maia.

She will be working with Martin until assuming her new duties on May 9.
