The Board of the Kennett Public Library is pleased to announce the election of new executive officers. Thomas C. Swett was elected president, Jeff Yetter, vice-president, and William (Bill) McLachlan, secretary-treasurer, according to a library press release.
This marks Tom Swett’s second tour with the library board as he served on the board from 1982 to 1994 and was president from 1989 through 1992. He brings to the board a wealth of nonprofit experience and leadership with an exemplary effort in fundraising for many of the area’s organizations, such as the Po-Mar-Lin Fire Company and the Chester County Hospital System.

Yetter Company, a manufacturers’ representative specializing in the home center industry. Yetter is well-known for his work within the Kennett Township and many local area nonprofit organizations.
Bill McLachlan, also a Kennett Township resident, is a retired executive from Hercules Inc. and has served on many nonprofit boards following his retirement as well as also helping Kennett Township.
Recently joining the board are (in alphabetical order) Dr. Loren Pearson (Newlin Township appointee), Dr. Brenda Williams-Mercomas (Kennett Square appointee), and Betsy Del Vecchio (Pennsbury Township appointee).
