Nancy Kirkpatrick, Associate Director at MCLS, has announced that she will be the next Executive Director of OhioNET in Columbus, Ohio. She begins her new job on January 3, 2019.

“MCLS has been a great experience for me. I value the friends and colleagues that I have come to know during the last four years, and I’m hopeful that we’ll find ways to continue collaborating in the future,” Nancy said. “The only thing that could have prompted me to leave is a fantastic opportunity, and that’s what I have at OhioNET. I am excited about the position and look forward to the opportunities and new challenges.”

“Nancy has been a tremendous asset both to MCLS and to our member libraries in Indiana and Michigan,” said Randy Dykhuis, MCLS Executive Director. “She has an enthusiasm for libraries and the work they do, and we will miss her energy and creativity. OhioNET is fortunate to get someone with Nancy’s skills and knowledge. We wish her all the best in her new job.”

Nancy joined MCLS in February 2015 as the Manager of Group Purchasing and was named Associate Director in December 2015. Prior to joining MCLS, she was library director at Marian University in Indianapolis.

Everyone at MCLS wishes Nancy all the best as she embarks on her new job at OhioNET.
