SOUTHWEST HARBOR Without a clear idea of when her next opportunity will be to host an in-person tea party or to read aloud for Toddler Story Hour, children’s librarian Susan Plimpton has decided to retire after nearly a quarter of a century at the Southwest Harbor Public Library.
Known to most as Ms. Susan, Plimpton describes her start at the library as a happy surprise. Before beginning her two–decade career there, Plimpton was an employee of the downtown bookstore, Oz Books, owned by Sheila Wilenski-Lanford.
