PITTSFIELD — Berkshire Community College (BCC) has named Richard Felver director of the Jonathan Edwards Library. In his new role, Felver will provide leadership and direct, organize, and oversee all areas of library operation.

“We are pleased to have Richard join BCC,” said Vice President for Academic Affairs Frances Feinerman. “His creativity, adaptability, and technology know-how will benefit the institution as we embrace continuing change in our facilities and technology, but also student needs and our desire to transform the library into a place that goes well beyond serving as a place to only access information.”
