Donations are still being taken for the Children's Room Mural project designed to promote literacy and awareness of endangered species. The GFWC Lowell Woman's Club will co-sponsor a celebrity auction in the fall to help raise funds for the project.

We are pleased to announce that Eugene Pidzarko, formerly Digital Projects Librarian for Purdue University Calumet is the new Director of the Lowell Public Library.

Mr. Pidzarko, who received his Master's of Library Science degree from Indiana University, Bloomington, also has an extensive background in computers, finance and education. He has served as Director of Information Technology for the Hammond Clinic in Munster; Information Systems Manager for Calumet Construction in Hammond; Network and Contracts and Grants Administrator for the Accounting Department of the University of California, Irvine. He was also a mathematics instructor at Indiana University, Illinois State University, and philosophy of science at the University of Maryland.

Mr. Pidzarko's love of libraries began in his youth and finally culminated in his pursuing a career in librarianship.

"I had heard good things about the Library in Lowell. It is obvious that this community supports and takes pride in its unique library. I look forward to working here."
