South Carolina's New State Librarian

A new State Librarian is coming to town, and the library community should be pretty darn excited. His name is David Goble and he is (or was) the Dean of Campus Libraries for Central Piedmont Community College (NC).

Here is a short biography: Goble is a 1994 graduate of SILS at UNC-Chapel Hill and is (or was) the dean of libraries at Central Piedmont Community College. He holds a MA in American Literature from the University of South Carolina and a BA in English from The Citadel. Prior to becoming a librarian he spent 18 years in banking. He is a former Marine officer and veteran of the Vietnam conflict.

Hmmm...a person with South Carolina connections, a financial background, a reader of literature and a practitioner of hand to hand combat. Not bad.

His first tour of duty will be our upcoming Library Legislative Day which is Wednesday, March 21. I will have the pleasure of introducing David to public library directors and members of the General Assembly. David, we are glad you are here. ~Todd
