Library Director Passing the Torch
Congratulations to Library Director Matthew Suddarth on his upcoming retirement! He has been our Director for more than 22 years, and has seen the library through our renovation project, the shift to more digital technologies, the rise of eBooks, and much more. During his retirement, he hopes to have more time to travel, visit loved ones, and bike across Illinois’ many beautiful trails.

We’d like to welcome our new Director, Joe Marcantonio! He has been an innovator in services to teens and young adults, with his most current position being Teen Manager at Schaumburg Township District Library. We’re glad to welcome him back to Winfield, as he was born and raised here. His first library job was as a page here at Winfield Library, and he’s now married to the woman he was dating back then. They have two children, ages 4 and 9. We look forward to welcoming Joe to the staff.

Matthew and Joe will be working together throughout June, before Matthew retires at the end of the month. We wish him all the best in his retirement.
