THAYER MEMORIAL LIBRARY is pleased to announce that Maren Caulfield has been hired as the new Youth Services Librarian. Maren joins the staff following the retirement of longtime Children’s Librarian Susan Conroy in April.

“I’m very excited to be part of the team at Thayer Memorial Library and I look forward to getting to know the wonderful patrons who make up the community,” said Caulfield. “I’m eager to continue the great programming already in place and hope to add more events and programs in the near future.”

The Library’s popular story hour, which is held on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. has resumed and will continue through the summer. Additional summer reading programming is currently being arranged, with registration opening up soon.

Maren comes to Thayer Memorial Library from Sargent Memorial Library in Boxborough, where she worked as a library assistant. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Communication from Cornell University and is currently studying for her Master’s in Library and Information Science at Simmons University, with a focus on youth services.

In her free time, Maren enjoys reading, running, and participating in community theater. Maren lives in Harvard with her husband and their two young children. She can be reached by phone at 978-368-8928 x 5 or email at caulfieldm@cwmars.org.
