Library Welcomes New Director, Eric Suess

On February 9, 2011, the Marshall Public Library will host a meet & greet for its new director, Eric Suess (pronounced Cease).
Patrons and the general public are invited to attend, ask questions and enjoy light refreshments between 5:00 and 7:00PM.

On January 9, 2011, the Marshall Public Library Board of Directors unanimously voted in the Notre Dame graduate to help move the library forward, as he did so in the past thirteen years in Michigan, five years as Director of the Commerce Township Community Library in Township, Michigan.
Eric was not only successful in building and maintaining relationships with local Friends, Library Board and Township officials, but also created Township Michigan’s first community public library. That library today still consistently posts statistics that match with libraries serving much larger communities and with much bigger staffs and resources.
Eric is a bright, level-headed and passionate individual, and is very happy to be here with his family in Pocatello. Eric will reside with his wife Karen, and their 17 year old son Aaron who will be attending Century High School. Their daughter Sarah, who is completing her BA in Education, will stay in Michigan after she graduates.
Eric holds a BA in Government and English, and a non-degree program in Theology from the University of Notre Dame, a MS in Library Science and PhD studies in Information & Library Studies from the University of Michigan.
In addition to his love for the theater, Eric is an active member of the National Puzzlers League and a frequent contributor to their monthly publication.
