The Hon. John Cain – former Victorian Premier and current President of the Library Board of Victoria, yesterday announced the new CEO for the State Library of Victoria.

The appointment comes in the wake of the departure of Ann-Marie Schwirtlich, who has taken on the role of Director General of the National Library of Australia.

Due to start by the end of March 2012, the new CEO is Sue Roberts, most recently from her position as University Librarian at Victoria University in New Zealand.

Libraries Interact wishes Sue well in her new position.
