On Monday, April 3, Jane DeHaven began her first day as director of the Beach Haven Public Library, which is looking to open later this month after being closed for environmental factors since November.

The job marks a change for DeHaven, who for nearly 25 years had been in the corporate library field. She holds a master’s degree in library science from Rutgers University.

“When I saw an advertisement for this job, I decided to apply for it,” said DeHaven, who owns a seasonal home on Chatsworth Avenue in Beach Haven.
