New Livonia library director hired, will oversee strategic planning process; Hometown Life, September 11, 2023

 Shelby Tankersley, Hometown Life; New Livonia library director hired, will oversee strategic planning process

"Kristen Edson took over as Livonia's library director earlier this month, and she's happy to be back in her home state. The Swartz Creek native was drawn back to Michigan from her former job in Louisiana by family. She's looking forward to getting to know Livonia better in the coming months....

One of her first tasks as director will be to oversee a strategic planning process for Livonia's three libraries, one of which has been closed for years due to mold. The first step is a resident survey, which Edson expects to send out next month. The city hired libraryIQ to lead the effort and expects the process to run through March of next year.

"It’s about what the community wants," Edson said. "I’m interested in going through an in-depth strategic planning process. I’m looking forward to really getting into the weeds and really learning about the community more through that process.""
