We are pleased to announce the appointment of Erica Gauquier
as the Library’s new Teen Services Librarian. She replaces Geri Diorio, who has
moved on to become Assistant Director of her hometown Stratford Library.
During her undergrad schooling, Erica studied Psychology and
Social Work, preparing her for what she knew would be a career in providing
services to children and young adults. Realizing she wanted to become a
librarian, she received her Master’s degree in Information and Library Science
from Pratt Institute in 2010. Erica has been passionately engaged in young
adult librarianship ever since.
Erica began her career at Darien (CT) Library, bringing
teens in the community new and innovative programs while establishing lasting
relationships with many of them.
It is now her great pleasure to become immersed in the
Ridgefield community, bringing that same love and passion for youth services to
her own town. She is full of exciting ideas and also looks forward to hearing
from 6th through 12th graders in town about what they
would like to see at the Library. You can find her in the Ellis Family Teen Center
of the Ridgefield Library or contact her by email at ELGauquier@ridgefieldlibrary.org.
She looks forward to meeting you!
