The Board of Commissioners of the Mississippi Library Commission (MLC) is pleased to announce that Sharman Bridges Smith will be returning to the agency as Interim Executive Director beginning November 1, 2017. She is stepping into the role after the recent retirement of Susan Cassagne, who served in the position since October, 2013.
Smith comes to the agency with a wealth of knowledge after having served in the position at MLC from 2001 to 2013. She also served as the State Librarian of Iowa from 1992 to 2001. In addition to managing the day to day operations at MLC, she will assist the Board of Commissioners with their search for a new executive director, as well as represent the agency’s interests at the state capitol during the upcoming legislative session.
"It is an honor and a pleasure to be asked back to the Mississippi Library Commission,” stated Smith. “I look forward to again working with the library community in support of libraries' critical role in the success of Mississippi’s communities and its citizens."
