Tompkins County Legislator Susan Currie will step down March 31 to become interim director of the Tompkins County Public Library, according to local officials.
Currie, who has served District 3 in Ithaca since 2023, held key committee roles and was praised for her dedication. Her departure will trigger a special election, with the date to be set April 1. She begins her new role April 1 and is expected to serve through September.
Currie previously led the library from 2009 to 2017 and again briefly in 2021. A longtime Ithaca resident and award-winning author, she brings decades of library leadership and community engagement to the post.
