OLIS Mourns Loss of Joe McGovern

By karen | January 10, 2015

OLIS is saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Joe McGovern, OLIS’ long time Supervisor of Media Services.  Joe worked for the Department of State Library Services and OLIS for over 30 years, retiring in 2008, and was well-known throughout the library community for his easy going style and wealth of knowledge, along with his photographic talents.  He was also the long-time producer of Library TV (L-TV), a joint venture of OLIS and the RI Library Association.  Outside of OLIS, Joe was a well known surfer and surf photographer for a number of magazines.

Read more about Joe in the Providence Journal and see a gallery of his outstanding surf photography on Eastern Surf.

OLIS extends its deepest sympathy to the McGovern family.
