“We recognize that our community members face a range of challenges, and we want to provide a safe and accessible place where they can find support,” said Linda A. Devlin, county library director. “By having a full-time social worker on staff, we can connect individuals with the resources they need to thrive.”

The announcement coincides with National Social Work Month in March and Social Worker Appreciation Day on Wednesday, March 19.
