EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S LETTER

DEAR FRIENDS OF THE NANTUCKET ATHENEUM

As 2022 came to a close, I was able to proudly reflect on three years working for the Nantucket Atheneum and of the rapid change we continue to successfully navigate, whether addressing the existential crisis of staff housing, embracing the opportunity to hire and to infuse the Library with new energy and a growingly diverse staff, or imagining a new summer event that will bring even more friends and supporters to the Atheneum. I am filled with gratitude and wonder at what we have accomplished together and have entered 2023 with renewed excitement about our extraordinary board, our devoted staff and our library’s future. Here are some highlights of another extraordinary year.
