Library Director’s Message

Dear Library Community,

I am excited to introduce myself as the new Library Director. If you are a frequent visitor to the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library, you have probably already met me at some point! This library has been my “work home” since 2000. Over the years, I have watched children grow up, library services change, and the building evolve. One thing that hasn’t changed is our staff’s dedication to ensuring that this library is the heart of the community.

In my new role, I am committed to building upon the strong foundation that has already been laid and to finding new and innovative ways to serve our patrons, guided by our new strategic plan.

I welcome you to stop by to say hello or send me an email at ctyszka@berlinpeck.org if you ever have a suggestion, question, or concern.

I am excited to begin this new chapter together!

Sincerely,
Carrie Tyszka
