Kevin Sheehan named new library director

  Burlington resident Kevin Sheehan was recently chosen as the city’s new library director – bringing extensive experience from the Revere Public Library as well as the Barker and Rotch Libraries at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

  “Kevin looks forward to improving the online resources, increasing library hours and creating additional programming at the Everett Public Libraries,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria.

  Before coming to Everett, Sheehan was the director of the Revere Public Library from July 2013 to January 2020. While at MIT, Sheehan was the access service manager from 2010 to 2013 and the circulation supervisor from 2005 to 2010. Sheehan holds a master’s in library and information science from Southern Connecticut State University and a bachelor’s degree from Assumption University.

  In addition to serving on the Board of Trustees of the Burlington Public Library, Sheehan enjoys spending time with his wife Cheryl and their nine-year-old son Tommy.

  Prior to Sheehan coming on board, the libraries, since 2019, had been under the interim stewardship of Assistant City Solicitor Matthew Lattanzi.
