Main Street Chillicothe is excited to announce that Maggie Moore, Youth Service Assistant at the Lillian DesMarias Youth Library, has been chosen to participate in the esteemed Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) program. This achievement is a significant milestone for Maggie and a proud moment for the entire Chillicothe community.

The ARSL, a national organization dedicated to addressing the distinct needs of libraries in rural and small communities, offers invaluable resources, training, and networking opportunities. Through its support, ARSL empowers librarians to enhance their services and make a greater impact. Maggie’s selection underscores her dedication, expertise, and the profound influence she has had at the Lillian DesMarias Children's Library and beyond.

Her inclusion in the ARSL program is a reflection of her unwavering commitment and enthusiasm for serving the Chillicothe community, particularly through her work at the library. Maggie’s participation is expected to bring new insights and innovations that will further enrich the library’s offerings and benefit the children and families who depend on its services.

Main Street Chillicothe is immensely proud to have Maggie represent our community on a national level. Her involvement with ARSL not only highlights her personal achievements but also showcases the vibrant, forward-thinking spirit of Chillicothe.
