If you’ve walked into the local library over the past several months, you might have seen a new, but familiar face masked, of course sitting behind the protective plastic screen that enshrouds the reference desk.
That face belongs to Tracy Phillips, who began her position as head librarian at the local branch of the Greene County Public Library in October of 2020. She took the reins from Connie Collett, who retired from the position after 31 years of service.
A Yellow Springs native, Phillips began her tenure at the helm of the village library after having worked as the branch manager of a Dayton Metro Library for 11 years. She said that coming back to the YS library the library of her childhood was a logical next step in her career.
