Stewart named director

A longtime employee of the Three Rivers Public Library has been named director of the Colon Township Library.

Dave Stewart, a native of Peoria, Ill., started the job in late September following nine years of employment with the facility in Three Rivers. The 31-year-old Stewart, who remains a Three Rivers resident, replaces Patti Miller, who retired in the fall.

Stewart, who has degrees from Western Michigan and Wayne State universities, said he enjoys reading all genres of literature but is especially fond of fantasy, including Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.
