The Erie County Public Library will soon be saying goodbye to its executive director.

Erin Wincek has worked for the library for four years, the last year and a half as executive director.  Next month, she will be stepping into a new role as the Human Resources Manager of Whole Foods Co-Op in Erie.

Wincek says her legacy at the library is turning ideas into action for example, creating the teen space and idea lab.

“It has been an absolute pleasure to work for county government and for the Erie County Public library. I think we have a lot to be proud of in Erie, with having a library of this magnitude. With the community’s support, I really feel like it will be sad to leave, but I’m excited for the future.”

Wincek’s last day will be March 8th. She says accepting this new position is the right move for her family.
