Peter Kelderhouse
President
Bio coming soon.

Dr. David Heffer, D.C.
Vice President
Fourteen years ago when I had the opportunity to relocate my family to western New York there were 3 major reasons why I chose Irondequoit, family ties, the Irondequoit Public Library and the small school districts. I am a doctor of chiropractic, my grandfather (Norris W. Heffer, DC) was born and raised in Irondequoit, as were his children (Robert N. Heffer, DC [my father] and Doris A. Blake {Heffer}, DC [my aunt]).

From my personal observation of the volume of patrons at all hours of the day and evening, combined with the genuine interest by the staff, it was apparent to me that the Irondequoit Public Libraries were the place to be. After establishing my practice in Irondequoit, I applied to be a Trustee of the Irondequoit Public Library. In December of 1998 I was selected to fill a vacant position on the Library Board of Trustees. It is a privilege to serve as part of that great American institution, the public library.

Ms. Stephanie Squicciarini
Secretary
Stephanie Squicciarini and her husband, Fred, have happily called Irondequoit home for 8 years.  After working 9 years in retail management, she went back to school for her Master of Library Science Degree and is currently the Teen Services Librarian at the Fairport Public Library.  Active in a variety of state and national library associations, serving on Executive Boards and multiple committees, Stephanie is passionate about libraries and the patrons they serve.  Stephanie currently serves as the Library Board's Liaison to the Friends of the Irondequoit Public Library and as Secretary for the Irondequoit Library Foundation.

Mr. Wolodymyr (Myrko) Pylyshenko
Treasurer
Mr. Pylyshenko was born in the Ukraine.  He graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from RIT in 1964. He taught at Brockport State from 1964 to 2000 and served as chair of the art department from 1979 to 1986 and again in 1990. He is a member of the board of the Ukranian Federal Credit Union, the board of the Sister Cities program, Council of Saint Mary Ukranian Orthodox Church and a charter member of the Western Monroe County Historical Society.

Ms. Lynanne H. Wehner
Board Member
Lynanne and her family have been residents of the Town of Irondequoit for over 18 years. Her involvement with the Library started with taking her children there weekly when they were young. She also was a member of a community based Library Facilities study group that put together a written report around 10 years ago.

As a working Architect and a member of the Library Board of Trustees' Lynanne feels that she can contribute her knowledge base to the day to day issues of our aging facilities and hopefully can be a help with the design process for renovation of the current facilities or the design of a new one.
