New Canaan Library announced the appointment of Kimberly McNally as its new CEO and president, effective Feb. 1.
McNally joins the library from the Berlin Peck Memorial Library in Berlin, Connecticut, where she has served as director since 2021. Earlier in her career, she was assistant library director at the Durham Public Library.
McNally will succeed Lisa Oldham, who announced her retirement after a 10-year career in New Canaan.
“A library is the center of the community and a place for growth and connection for everyone,” said McNally. “The New Canaan Library, with its thoughtfully designed building and dynamic resources, is leading the way for how libraries in Connecticut and around the country can support their communities in new and exciting ways. I am honored to be joining this library and I look forward to getting to know the community, staff, and stakeholders and building our future together.”
