Town Officials Honor Retiring W. Babylon Library Director

A retirement ceremony was held on Jan. 7 to commemorate the career and accomplishments of West Babylon Public Library Director Anne Marie Dolan. The event also welcomed in Gail Pepa as the new Director.

Anne Marie Dolan has been working in libraries since high school, when she started as a page in the West Islip Public Library. She earned a masters degree in library science, and started working for the West Babylon Public Library in January of 1990.

She led the library through a series of major renovations, going from a 1,400 square foot building with borrowed books and used furniture to the 3,300 square foot modern facility we appreciate today.
