LITTLE ROCK (AP) – The Clinton Presidential Library named Terri Garner as its new director Friday.

Garner is currently executive director of the Bangor Museum and Center for History in Bangor, Maine. She will start as the Clinton library’s director on Nov. 5.

“Ms. Garner brings sound management experience and a fresh perspective to the Clinton library,” said National Archivist Allen Weinstein. “Her leadership roles in the private sector at Xerox and Sun Microsystems and in the non-profit world at the Bangor Museum and Center for History will provide a strong foundation for continuing the important work at the Clinton Library.”

Garner replaces David Alsobrook, who announced his retirement earlier this year.

“When we built this library, we wanted to create a unique place where people could come and learn about America at the turn of the 21st Century and where they would feel engaged in that experience,” former President Clinton said. “In less than three years, over one million visitors have visited the library and hopefully left with a new understanding of the United States. Terri, with her unique blend of private sector and non-profit experience, is a great fit to guide the library in the coming years.”
