(Greenfield, MA) With the opening of the new Greenfield Public Library, there will be a new Library Director, Anna Bognolo. The current Library Director, Ellen Boyer, has been with the Greenfield Public Library since 2012.

“I am honored to have been selected to serve as the director of the Greenfield Public Library and thrilled to be able to serve the community of Greenfield in this role,” said Bognolo. “I strongly believe that libraries are essential components of thriving communities, and I look forward to working with the staff, board and community to continue the Greenfield Public Library’s great work and to create a vision for how the library can best serve and adapt to the growth and changes in Greenfield and Franklin County.”

Bognolo has previously worked for Christie’s Auctioneers in both London and Rome and then Springfield Technical Community College where she became well acquainted with the Central and Western Massachusetts Automated Resource Sharing (CW MARS) system. In 2017, she became the library and archive director at Deerfield Eaglebrook School.

Bognolo is not new to the Greenfield Public Library though as she lives in the city with her family and has served as a substitute librarian there as well as at the Jones Library in Amherst. She is currently the president of the Massachusetts Library System’s Executive Board and works with the Franklin County Community Meals Program and the Great Falls Books through Bars Program.
