Looks Familiar
Library regulars already know Glatfelter Memorial Library’s newest library manager. She is a familiar face in Spring Grove as she previously served as our interim library manager and as the library’s youth services coordinator. We are delighted to announce that Ellen Helfrick is Glatfelter’s new library manager. She has served as library manager for Collinsville Community Library in Brogue for eight years and will continue in that role in tandem with her new position at Glatfelter.
Like Coming Home
“It is wonderful to have such a warm reception from library staff, friends, volunteers and library members. I am looking forward to meeting the new families that were not using the library when I was here before,” says Ellen. “I want to continue to build on the great customer service, add more programming of interest to the community and continue to partner with other Spring Grove organizations to best serve the families in our area.” The library is a vital community partner and actively works with Spring Grove Parks and Recreation, Spring Grove Area School District, Windy Hill Senior Center and other organizations to enrich the lives of all ages within the community.
