Welcome to Westland, Dr. Collins!
Dr. Sheila Collins recently started work as the new Director of the William P. Faust Westland Public Library. Dr. Collins has come to us by way of Northeastern State University in Oklahoma and the Lima Public Library in Ohio. Prior to earning her Master of Library and Information Science degree, Dr. Collins received her law degree (and before that, she owned and ran a dairy farm). Dr. Collins has a great love for libraries and is excited about our future. Meet Dr. Collins at our 15th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, November 5th.
