Retirement of Ottawa City Librarian

Retirement of long-time Ottawa City Librarian Barbara Clubb is announced.

She provided strong leadership for the library system, especially through the challenging time when the former City of Ottawa, of which she was already librarian, was amalgamated with the suburban and and rural libraries within the new City.

She has been praised for being progressive on adoption of technology, and her talents have been widely recognized through appointments and awards at the provincial and higher levels.

Her retirement is effective at the end of the year and I wish her enjoyment in whatever future paths she may choose to pursue.
