years and play a pivotal role in expanding access and introducing new
technology,” said Morian. “I’m honored that the Library Board is giving me
the opportunity to advance the organization's positive momentum as its new
leader. I look forward to working with the board, staff and community
leaders in Rochester, Rochester Hills and Oakland Township to continue our
legacy of excellence at the Rochester Hills Public Library.”



Library Director Christine Lind Hage will retire from RHPL effective
