Eric Zino Named New Director of Haddonfield Public Library

Haddonfield, NJ -- The Haddonfield Public Library’s Board of Trustees is pleased to announce Eric Zino as its new director. This appointment is effective July 5.

Prior to joining the staff of the Haddonfield Public Library in 2014 as its Circulation Manager, Zino worked for PALINET/LYRASIS, a non-profit organization that works with libraries to use technology to manage their information and digital content. Zino assumed the role of acting director in January replacing former library director, Susan Briant, who retired at the end of 2015.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled about Eric’s acceptance of the position,” said Deborah Marchand, president of the library’s Board of Trustees. “His leadership skills and vision of a 21st century library were tested and proven when he stepped in as the acting director in the middle of our building project.”

Marchand also stressed the cooperative nature of the selection, citing that residents, library staff, borough officials, board members from the Friends of the Library and the Library Board members all participated in the process.

The Haddonfield Public Library has served the Haddonfield community since 1803. The library is planning to open later this summer after undergoing a $2.2 million renovation project.
