The Friends of the Capitan Public Library Board announces the appointment of Paulette Arnone as Library Director to replace Pat Garret, recently retired as Library Director after 18 years of service to the library and community.

Paulette Arnone moved to Capitan 17 years ago.  While still new in town, the first organization she joined as a volunteer was the Capitan Public Library.

Arnone looks forward to becoming involved with a larger part of the community by joining CPL as incoming director.

"I'm going to  give CPL all I've got and follow in Pat's great path, perhaps adding a new step ot two along the way!"

She is excited to work with all the great volunteers at both the library and Not 2 Shabby Shoppe, an enterprise of CPL that provides much needed income to fund the library's expenses, which as a non-profit, the library must raise itself.

Paulette Arnone was born in Wichita, KS, but raised in Orange County in Southern CA. She graduated with a  Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science from National University, LaJolla, CA. Arnone proceeded to worked 33 years with American Airlines, retiring in 2011.

"I love my husband and family, friends, all animals, but especially my horses!  I totally enjoy Southwestern art, music, and food.  Come get involved at CPL.  We'd love to see ya!" Arnone invites.
