Librarian finishes final chapter

After 43 years as a Manatee County librarian, East County resident Pamela Gibson is retiring.

Manatee County commissioners on June 16 honored Gibson with a retirement award. Gibson is the longest-serving librarian in the county's history. 

"You’ve earned it,” Commissioner Vanessa Baugh told Gibson of retirement. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for Manatee County and the library system."
