Mary Harrison -Library Director
My library journey began in 1984 as a 14-year-old page at Kalamazoo Public Library. What started as a fun after-school job quickly turned into a lifelong passion for public service. Over the past four decades, I’ve had the opportunity to work in libraries across Michigan and Georgia, gaining experience in a variety of roles and learning from every community I’ve served.
Since 2019, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Director of Coloma Public Library. Returning to my home state and becoming part of the Coloma community has been a true joy. I’m committed to ensuring the library remains a welcoming, inclusive space—one that reflects the spirit and needs of our town while supporting lifelong learning, curiosity, and connection.
In recent years, I’ve been especially proud of the creative programming my team has brought to life—including two major outer space exhibits: Mars, Moon & Beyond and Exoplanets: The Search for Alien Worlds. These exhibits were truly a team effort and a wonderful way to spark imagination and exploration in our community.
Outside of the library, I enjoy distance running, discovering new flavors as an adventurous foodie, and relaxing with Japanese anime.

I’m always happy to connect!
