Charlotte B. Miller
Charlotte Miller, a former director of the Library, was a wonderful servant to the Library during her lifetime and now, thanks to her thoughtfulness, her love of and dedication to the Mount Pleasant Public Library will continue to benefit the Library and its users for many generations to come.
Charlotte grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder, with a degree in voice. After graduation Charlotte moved to New York City and in 1952 married Gordon Miller, a fellow music lover from the Boulder campus (he graduated with a degree in piano accompaniment).
Charlotte and Gordon had two children, Karen and Keith, and made their home in Valhalla, NY. As the children got older Charlotte starting working, part-time, at the Valhalla branch of the Library. As well as being a full-time mother and part-time library employee, Charlotte went back to school and studied for a Masters in Library Science.
With the degree in hand, Charlotte moved to the Library’s Pleasantville location and became the full-time Children’s Librarian. In 1973 Charlotte became the Library’s Director and she served in that capacity for 20 years, until her retirement in 1992.
After retiring, Charlotte moved to Venice, Fl. where she was an active participant in the local rotary (she had been one of the first female members of the Pleasantville Rotary) and continued to pursue her love of music through membership of the Venice Opera Guild.
