On Tuesday, 4 October Ottawa’s Public Library Board announced that Sonia Bebbington will be the new CEO of OPL, effective 31 October.
Previously Director-General for Information and Document Resource Services of the Library of Parliament, she has a Master of Library & Information Science degree from The University of Western Ontario, Master of Arts in English Language and Literature/Letters from the University of Waterloo, and Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature/Letters from The University of Western Ontario.
This is great news. I worked with Sonia for several years at the LIbrary of Parliament. She is smart, creative, a well respected manager, and she has a great sense of humour. The OPL is very lucky to nab her.
