Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Supreme Court today announced that Malia Ebel, JD, MLS, has been named as the new Director of the John W King Law Library, the only public law library in New Hampshire, located at the Supreme Court in Concord. Attorney Ebel is an experienced librarian, and joins the Judicial Branch after recently serving as the Director of the Abbott Library in Sunapee. Prior to that, Ebel was the college librarian and manager of the Susan Colgate Cleveland Library/Learning Center at Colby-Sawyer College in New London. In that role, she also took on the added responsibility of serving as academic advisor to a cohort of first-year nursing students. Ebel also practiced law in Boston for nearly 10 years prior to pursuing a career as a librarian.
“I am excited to take on this new role as director of the only public law library in the state of New Hampshire,” said Ebel. “Our primary mission to improve access to legal resources regardless of background, income, education level or knowledge of the law – especially for the thousands of New Hampshire residents who represent themselves in our state courts. We have exciting partnerships with public libraries throughout the state to help facilitate legal research, and another part of our mission is to expand those resources while keeping our library collections current with the most up-to-date material.”
