New County Administrator

Today I attended a meeting with the incoming County Administrator, along with other elected and appointed officials. Allen O'Neal assumes the position officially next Tuesday. He's been in town for a week or so, receiving an orientation from the retiring County Administrator, Mac Canterbury.

The big news for us is that Mr. O'Neal is a book lover! He mentioned that he still has 17 boxes of books to unpack and that his wife, a retired teacher, already has a library card.

He's personable and I look forward to working with him. Once he's settled in a little more he'll be visiting us. He told me he looks forward to it. So do I. I trust that the library will have a great relationship with him.
