TECUMSEH — Jordan Wright has been hired as the new director of the Tecumseh District Library. 

Wright comes to Tecumseh from Ferndale District Library where he was the director. During his nearly 12-year stint at Ferndale, he served in several positions of increasing responsibility. 

“Jordan’s experience, enthusiasm and energy will move the library into a new phase of service to the district,” said Lisa Hart, president of the Tecumseh District Library board of trustees. “His credentials are outstanding and we look forward to welcoming him to the community.” 

Wright is the third library director since the library became an independent public library in 2003. He replaces Susan Bach, who resigned in October. 

“I work in public libraries because I thrive on human connection,” said Wright. “I’m energized by serving the public, connecting people with resources, and most importantly, turning non-library users into enthusiastic supporters.” 

Jennifer Moore is the new children’s services librarian. She replaces Mary Beth Reasoner, who retired from the library after 48 years.

Moore has worked with children and their families for most of her career. She started as a preschool teacher, then became a home child care owner, school teacher and university faculty member.

Her education background is in early childhood education and she completed her doctorate at Walden University. Her educational studies and research interests have focused on children from birth through age 8 and their families. She also has a degree in psychology and counseling.

The Tecumseh District Library is a Class IV Library, serving the residents of the city of Tecumseh, and portions of Adrian, Franklin, Macon, Raisin, Ridgeway, and Tecumseh townships.
