The Lane Libraries Announce New Board Member

The Lane Libraries welcome new Board member, Dr. Kelli Lyon Johnson, who began her seven-year term on Monday, January 11.  Dr. Johnson has lived in Hamilton for the past six and a half years working as an English professor at Miami University Hamilton.  Last August, she became Associate Dean for the Hamilton campus. 

Dr. Johnson embraces a lifelong love of reading and has always believed in the importance of reading and libraries in people's lives.  She feels that she is a good fit for the Lane Libraries Board because she understands what an important role libraries play in communities and she is interested in helping to improve the lives of people in Butler County.  She and her husband Martin, who is also a professor at MUH, have a daughter and enjoy traveling as a family.  Dr. Johnson replaces Board member Susan Vaughn whose term expired in December.
