DAYTON—The Columbia County Rural Library District Board of Trustees has chosen Todd Vandenbark of Waverly, Iowa, to be the next Director of the Dayton Memorial Library. He will begin as Library Director on Feb. 16.

Vandenbark has a Master’s in Library Science and more than ten years of experience in Library service. He is an accomplished trainer and mentor and has extensive knowledge and experience with digital programming.

“Todd’s outgoing personality and maturity, along with his experience and skills, make him a great match for our library and community. The Board is excited for him to begin and hopes the community will soon have the opportunity to get to know him.”

The Trustees have also announced Kristie Korslund’s resignation, who has served as the Interim Director since Aug. 1, 2020. During her tenure, Kristie oversaw the completion of the library’s remodel and directed the library’s COVID-19 response.
