Director Retires Following more than 38 years at the Long Beach Public Library, 36 of which were as the Library Director, George Trepp retired on October 30.

Accomplishments were highlighted by the transition to automation, as he led the libraries of Nassau County in the procurement of two new computer systems, initiated the Overdrive project, developed the plans for the building renova-tion and later expansion and led the libraries’ recovery from superstorm Sandy.

Please welcome Ms. Caputo when she starts on Monday, November 9.
