Katherine O’Neil

Katherine O’Neil is director of the Lenox Library. In her position for only three months before facing the challenges of COVID-19, Katie creatively found ways to serve her patrons and the community—organizing a StoryWalk in downtown Lenox supporting patrons and local business, encouraging virtual storytimes, and holding the summer reading program in the library’s “fairy garden.” Katie developed pandemic policies and curbside pickup procedures to provide as many library services as possible while her staff remained furloughed. The 1997 Lenox High graduate previously served as director of the Stockbridge Library after earning degrees from Harvard and UCLA.
