One of the key figures in education and knowledge in Erie County is retiring. Now the hunt is on for her successor.
Mary Jean Jakubowski is leaving the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library in June, after a decade as director and 30 years with the system.
She may not be all that well known, but the library system provides everything from books for all ages to story time to computer access in parts of the county no one else does. That s particularly true in the southtowns, where people park in the middle of the night to use the WiFi system outside some library branches.
