Longtime Waukesha library director to retire
Waukesha - Waukesha Public Library Director Jane Ameel, who's held the post for the past 27 years, has announced she'll retire effective May 1.
Her library career spans 38 years.
During her tenure in Waukesha, she has overseen three expansion and renovation projects, the formation of the CAFÉ - or Catalog Access for Everyone - consortium of local libraries, development of the library's public art program and introduction of the Waukesha Reads program, where the community focuses on a single book through a month's worth of book-related activities.
This year, the Wisconsin Library Association recognized Waukesha's library as the 2011 Wisconsin Library of the Year.
