Fishbowl with Susan Baier

Fishbowl with Susan Baier

Join us on April 17, 3:15 to 5 p.m. EST, at MKM architecture + design, for a lively discussion with Susan Baier, Executive Director, Allen County Public Library.

What's Fishbowl, you ask? The intent is to provide an intimate venue to talk, share, and learn about innovations in community health and well-being.

Register now! You'll want to act now for your chance to gain valuable insights and grow your knowledge.

Throughout the year, MKM shuts down its Fort Wayne location to host a public event, affectionately called the Fishbowl. This is a time when we invite a thought-provoking individual to share about their career, work, community, or big ideas they are working through.

Past Fishbowl discussions have ranged from artificial intelligence to social justice.

ABOUT SUSAN BAIER

Susan Baier began as Executive Director of the Allen County Public Library (ACPL) in March 2021. Her nearly 30-year public library career took her to Ohio, Illinois, California, and Kentucky before moving to Indiana. Prior to joining ACPL, she was the Library Director of McCracken County Public Library in Paducah, Kentucky.

She currently serves as Vice President of the Board for Visit Fort Wayne. She also serves on the boards of The Literacy Alliance, Friends of the Lincoln Collection, Rotary Club of Fort Wayne, and the Friends of the Allen County Public Library.

Dolly Parton is her longtime idol, so it gives Susan great joy to be the Main Coordinator for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Allen County. More than 6,000 children in Allen County receive free books from the Imagination Library each month, and that number grows every day.

Susan holds a Master of Library Science from the University of Kentucky.

She and her husband of 25 years, Eric, live in downtown Fort Wayne with their spoiled rescue cat Toonces.
