A consulting firm founded by Ridgefield Library's former Director has been hired in Newtown to help with the search for a new leader of CH Booth Library. The Board of Trustees in Newtown hired Chris Nolan Associates, which specializes in the library talent market. Officials told the Newtown Bee that the firm will be able to bring in a larger pool of talent and can help with the screening process. Booth Library Director Karen Tatarka left in July to return to her role as director of the Weston Public Library. Assistant Director Beryl Harrison has been serving as interim director. The Bee reports that the consulting firm is paid ten percent of the annual director’s condensation, plus expenses.
