LIB-6 MIXED · THE STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS' SCHEDULES OF OFFICIALS
The library's directorship can now be carried in an unbroken line from 2018, with one long-serving name before it and one honest gap between. Connie Jo Swanson directed the library through the 2000s — the Tribune's record shows her working the voter-registration project, the North Township agreement, and the budget-and-Saturday-hours fights of a one-librarian institution — until her death on October 1, 2011, at 73. The State Board of Accounts' compliance examination for January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022 prints the modern succession in its Schedule of Officials: Traci Stewart, Director, January 1, 2018 to March 15, 2019; Jennifer Kirman, Director, from March 16, 2019 through the examination's end at December 31, 2022. The Indiana State Library's 2026 directory carries the line to the present: Molly McGee, Interim Director. Two residues stand named. The years 2011 to 2018 — between Swanson's death and Stewart's first scheduled day — carry no director's name in any record reached; the library board's minutes and the State Library's older directory editions are the settlers. And one name-form diverges: a vendor testimonial for the library's automation service is signed "Jennifer, Library Director," under the surname Cygert, where the Board of Accounts prints Kirman from March 2019 — the same Jennifer under a changed surname, or a near succession the schedules flatten; the library's own record is the settler, and both forms are printed here at their records' strengths rather than merged.
