Meet The Team

Michelle Duclos, MPH

As Director of the Frankenmuth Wickson District Library, I wear many hats—managing both the big picture and the small daily details that keep our library thriving. My favorite part of the job is connecting with the community and making sure everyone who walks through our doors feels welcome, supported, and at home in the library.

Beth Emmons, MA

I love creating story times full of songs, movement, and beautiful books! I believe in giving our littlest learners sensory-rich experiences to help them grow. Whether it’s planning diverse programs, building cozy spaces, or dreaming up our next big adventure, I’m always excited to share the magic of the library with kids and families!

As the Adult Services and Outreach Librarian, I’m passionate about connecting our community with resources, programs, and opportunities that enrich lives. I love being part of a team that serves and supports our patrons in meaningful ways—both inside the library and out in the community. Whether it's through engaging programs, personalized services, or outreach initiatives, I'm here to help make the library a welcoming and empowering space for all.

Barb Barger

I have the privilege of serving as the Youth Services Librarian, working with our wonderful middle and high school patrons.  My position involves planning and organizing tween and teen programs and activities, leading our Teen Advisory Board, and anything else related to these age groups. I have the best job! My favorite part is getting to know all of the amazing youth that come in and making sure the library is a welcoming, encouraging and safe place for them.
