Hanna Lee is the new Head Librarian for the Batesville branch of First Regional Library. Hanna Lee comes to First Regional from The Princeton Public Library, in Princeton, NJ. She holds a MA in Teaching from John Hopkins University and an MLIS from Rutgers University.

She has been a Youth Services Librarian; a classroom teacher, teaching language arts to 7th through 9th grade students; an instructor for ESL and much more. As part of her work at the Princeton Public Library, she oversaw an afterschool tutoring program for several years. She was recognized by the American Library Association as one of a handful of Emerging Leaders in 2014 for her work at Princeton Public Library and elsewhere.

Collaborating and communicating with the community she serves is extremely important to Hanna. “I plan to spend my first year getting to know Batesville and the outlying communities the library serves. I want to know what the community wants from their library, and become acquainted with potential schools, businesses and community groups with which the library can partner so we all serve our community to the best of our abilities.”

MLA's mission is to provide professional leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all.
