TEAM

 

​LIBRARIANS:

​

The Southport Memorial Library is excited to introduce two new librarians, Casey Martin and Chris Joule, who bring energy, experience, and a shared commitment to serving the Southport community.  Both librarians are Southport residents, who are deeply connected to the town they now serve in new roles.

​

Casey Martin - Librarian

​

Casey Martin comes to Southport from Boothbay Region Elementary School, where she served as the school librarian. With a strong background in youth services and educational programming, Casey brings a student-focused perspective that will directly benefit the children of Southport Central School. She also brings prior public library experience and is excited to enhance the library’s collection and support its mission to meet the reading and learning needs of the entire community.

​

Chris Joule - Assistant Librarian

​

Chris Joule, a familiar face to many, has worked behind the scenes for the past decade as the library’s cataloger. Now stepping into a broader role as librarian, Chris offers deep knowledge of the library’s collection and a long-standing dedication to its mission. Her transition into this expanded position reflects her commitment to both the library and the people it serves.​​

BOARD OF TRUSTEES:

​

  • Gerry Gamage - Chair

  • Matt Cole - Treasurer

  • Mary Hanley - Secretary

  • Peter Kidder - Member

  • Linda Brewer - Member (Former Librarian)

​

 

LIBRARY AIDES:

​

Until relatively recently, the Southport Library never had more than one staff member working at a time, so it always relied heavily on volunteers and still does. The Library Aides group was started in 1928 and has had its summer book and bake sale every year since. The members also volunteer their time to work in the library during the winter, and also help in keeping a section of the shelves stocked with used books for sale.
