Jessica Hermiller always wanted to be librarian - ever since she was a page at Lima Public Library at age 14. The Lima native grew up and got her wish, first in Pennsylvania, and then on Jan. 2, she became director of the Bluffton Public Library at 145 S. Main.

She replaces Cindi Chasse who retired in December. Hermiller may be known best as the daughter of Mike and Tammy Bradshaw. Tammy works at The Food Store, also on Main Street, Bluffton.
