Brunswick County recently announced its newest library director, PATRICIA DEW. 

Dew brings more than twenty-nine years of experience in libraries to the Brunswick County team. Before she was hired in January, Dew worked for the New Hanover County Public Library (2012-22) and the Durham County Library (2001- 12).

Alongside her work in public libraries, Dew also serves as a member of the U.S. Army Reserve. 

“I have many goals I would like to achieve here in Brunswick County,” Dew says. “I want to better serve the residents of Brunswick County as we move into a new era of growth and technological advancement. I aim to grow the system, improve accessibility, foster a welcoming environment in each of the branch locations, and increase the 24/7 access for resources through the use of e-books and online services.”
