Remembering John MacDonald

Longtime library employee John MacDonald passed away on July 19, 2026. John worked at the Wayne Public Library since it opened in 1996, and at the Wayne-Westland Library before that. Throughout his career, he built countless lasting friendships with coworkers, patrons, and members of the community. His knowledge, patience, and willingness to help made him a valued colleague and a familiar, welcoming presence to everyone who visited the library. He will be missed terribly. In lieu of flowers, John’s family has requested that donations be made to the Wayne Public Library in his memory.
