Library director retiring after 22 years

BOERNE — The Patrick Heath Public Library will soon turn the page on a new chapter with longtime director Kelly Skovbjerg set to retire after 22 years.

She began her career with the City of Boerne in 2002 as a reference librarian before becoming library director in 2003. Since then, the library has continued to be a gathering and connection place for the community.

“The way that we interact with the community and really listen to what it is they are asking for is how we make a difference,” Skovbjerg said. “I think people know if they come here, they will be treated well and with respect. That has helped us a lot to move forward initiatives that you wouldn’t necessarily see in all public libraries.”
