Ely will begin work on Nov. 1. Ely’s experience, knowledge, and passion for literacy and library services will continue the tradition of a strong public library in Dolores as established by Carole Arnold and supported by the other staff members and patrons.

Ely has been the library director at the St. Ignace Public Library since 2012 and says, "It’s been my dream for many years to move to Colorado, and I’m excited to be moving to Dolores and being a part of the community.”

The Dolores Public Library Board of Trustees and the Friends of the Dolores Public Library will be hosting a retirement party for Carole Arnold on Saturday, December 7,2013, at the Dolores Public Library from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm.
