Library Staff

 

      Director - Amelia

Amelia has been our director since September 2024. She is new to the area and excited to lead the library into the next 50 years.  She and her husband Adam have a blended family of four children, three granddaughters and two dogs.  

 

Assistant Director - Carol

Carol came to the library in 2006 and began serving as the assistant director in 2019. In addition to untangling the daily details of the library, she enjoys crafting, crocheting and a good mystery.  Her all-time favorite book?  Gone with the Wind.

 

Children's Librarian - Linda

Linda has been with Gutekunst since 2008.  In addition to sharing a love for early literacy and little people, she loves to sew, craft, read and learn about her family tree.

 

Library Clerk - Deb

Deb has been a lifelong patron of Gutekunst Public Library and joined the staff in 2017.  Deb is currently known by some as the "LEGO Lady."  She enjoys reading and appreciates learning about "good reads" from others.

 

Library Clerk - Donita

Donita came on board in 2019.  When she's not busy finding books for patrons or digitizing our heritage collection, she enjoys sewing, is learning watercolor painting, and loves reading psychological thrillers.

 

Library Clerk & The Queen of Clean - Dawn

Dawn joined our library family in the spring of 2023.  When she's not busy helping patrons, she's keeping us spic & span. She is a film buff who loves family comedies, and she loves to spend time in her garden.

 

The Other Queen of Clean - Dani

 

Dani joined the library family in 2018.  When she's not helping Dawn, she likes to knit (in cold weather) and run (in warm weather).  She is very enthusiastic about the Harry Potter series, and she's Elvis's biggest fan.

 

Resident Cat - Rosie

Rosie claimed the library as her home in late 2018.  She plays with our smallest patrons, helps with book processing and supervises cribbage and Monday morning coffee.  If you can't find her, she's likely taking a nap in the bathtub.
