The four are Susan Baier, director of McCracken County Public Library in Paducah, Kentucky; Ann Hammond, executive director of Sonoma County Public Library in California; Bob Pasicznyuk, executive director of Douglas County libraries in the Denver metropolitan area; and Kristen Shelley, director of East Lansing Public Library in Michigan. The candidates are scheduled to meet Wednesday with library managers and department heads. Next week, the library's Board of Trustees will conduct final interviews with each of the four applicants and decide what to do next.
