At its Annual Meeting this month, Akilia McCain was elected as Director At-Large of the Indiana Library Federation. In June, McCain was elected President of the Gary Public Library Board of Trustees. She was appointed to the library board by Mayor Jerome A. Prince last January.
“I am ready to roll up my sleeves with my library colleagues from all over the state,” McCain said. “The Library Federation is an incredible resource and I intend to bring what I learn back to Gary and to help improve the services in our libraries for our entire community,” added McCain.
