Exciting Transitions at KCPL

We’re thrilled to celebrate some exciting transitions at the Kenton County Public Library.  Join us in congratulating three incredible team members on their well-earned new roles.

Kari Jones: Outreach Branch Manager

Kari’s journey with KCPL began 25 years ago as a shelver. Since then, she has worn many hats, including assistant programmer, children's services coordinator, homebound manager, and most recently, program coordinator. Her deep passion for outreach, ability to connect with the community, and steadfast dedication to library services make her an outstanding choice for this leadership role. We are excited to see her bring her vision and expertise as the Outreach Branch Manager. Congratulations, Kari!

Welcome Amy Foster: Covington Branch Manager

We’re excited to welcome Amy Foster as the new Branch Manager of the Covington Branch! A proud Northern Kentucky native, Amy graduated from Scott High School before earning her B.A. in Geography from Morehead State University and her M.S.L.S. from the University of Kentucky. She brings a wealth of experience from working in various library settings, including a large law firm library in Lexington and the UK College of Law Library. With 14 years at Boone County Public Library, Amy is no stranger to the world of public libraries, and we are excited to see her lead the Covington Branch.

Paul Duryea: Leading the Soon-to-Open Latonia Branch

We’d also like to extend a big congratulations to Paul Duryea, the former Covington Branch Manager, as he steps into his new role as Branch Manager of the soon-to-open Latonia Branch! Paul has been an integral part of our library system since 2006, working at each branch in various capacities. Most recently he led the Covington Branch with dedication and expertise and we know he will bring the same leadership to Latonia.
