Welcome our new executive director – Shaw Local

The Batavia Public Library is turning a new page this month, beginning an exciting next chapter as we welcome our new executive director.

Josephine “Jo” Tucci began serving as executive director June 12. Tucci comes to the Batavia Public Library from the Lincolnwood Public Library, where she served as library director for almost four years. Before that, Tucci served for 17 years at the Berwyn Public Library, first as a librarian and then in managerial roles.
