Kathie O’Dowd named interim library director
Kathie O’Dowd has taken over as interim director of the Glen Rock Library pending the appointment of a permanent library director to replace Roz Pelcyger, who retired at the end of 2010. O’Dowd, who has a master of library science degree from Rutgers University, is a specialist in computer education at the elementary school, middle school, and high school levels, and has worked in a number of libraries in central New Jersey. Her first college degree, with academic and athletic scholarships, came from the University of Iowa. She previously worked for IBM. She and her husband Hugh, an executive in the phar-
maceuticals industry, recently returned from three years in the United Kingdom with their sons Sean and Colin, both of whom are high school students. A resident of Mendham Borough, O’Dowd has been a member of the Long Valley Board of Education. Most of her library experience is in the Morris County area, which is noted for excellent library and research systems. The new interim director said she has had extremely favorable first impressions of the Glen Rock Library, the staff, and the community in general. J. KOSTER
