The Eastern Counties Regional Library (ECRL) has welcomed a new Board Chair.

Warden James Fuller was announced for the role after the election on October 16.

He’s a member from the Municipality of the District of Saint Mary’s and brings decades of public service and experience to the position.

Fuller says he was raised in libraries, as his mother was a librarian.

“I believe very much that a library is the soul and heartbeat of each of our communities. Bringing the world of imagination to growing children and adults alike,” he stated.

“I am looking forward to serving in this role.”

He recognizes and thanks Clair Rankin, who guided the ECRL as Chair for the past two years and who has served on the Board for almost 19 years and says Rankin will remain a valuable resource for the organization.
