The Forsyth County Public Library will be under new leadership come Dec. 19.

The system’s board of trustees this week appointed Anna Lyle as library director. She’ll replace Jon McDaniel, who has headed the library since 1996 and who’ll retire the day before Lyle takes over.

Lyle has been the assistant director for support services in the agency for the past 11 years. Her library career spans 22 years and includes stints in both the Forsyth and Gwinnett libraries. The Buford resident holds a masters degree in library science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and another in art history from Emory University.

The Forsyth library has four locations and saw more than 611,000 visits in 2014, with in excess of 2.3 million items checked out.
