Claudette

Claudette has been part of the Killingly Library since 2002 and serves as Library Director. Before stepping into her leadership role, she spent 14 years in children’s services, where she developed a lasting passion for helping young readers discover the joy of books. One of her favorite parts of librarianship is connecting people with stories they’ll enjoy. While she enjoys recommending books across all genres, she’s especially drawn to psychological thrillers that keep readers guessing until the very last page. Outside the library, Claudette enjoys listening to music, with playlists that change to match her mood, and spending quiet evenings immersed in a good book.
