BATON ROUGE, La.– The State Library of Louisiana Board of Commissioners on Thursday voted 6-0 to appoint Meg Placke as interim state librarian.
Placke most recently served as deputy state librarian. She began her career at the State Library of Louisiana in 2008 and has also served as a library consultant and associate state librarian.
“Libraries play an important role in educating our children and serving our communities with helpful resources. I’m glad the board is moving forward and working on naming a permanent state librarian,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser.
The Board of Commissioners will conduct a national search for a permanent state librarian. A timeline for that process has not yet been set.
