Manuela Denes was born and raised in Windsor. She graduated from the University of Windsor with a BA in English Literature. Strangely enough, she went on to work at Chrysler Canada for twelve years.

Halfway through her stint there, she decided to fulfil a dream and started to work on her MLIS. After four years she received her degree from Wayne State University and to add to her resume received a  BEd from the University of Windsor.

Manuela moved to Tokyo, Japan for two years where she implemented a library program for the Canadian International School.

A year later upon her return to Canada, she was hired as a Resource Assistant with the Essex County Library working first at the Toldo branch in Lakeshore. Then she was off to Amherstburg as a Community Supervisor. Her most recent position with ECL is Manager, Community Services. 

When she saw that the Kingsville Times was online, she sent a message on Instagram asking about doing a weekly news article about what’s happening at the library.

Thank you Mary Ellen Havlik and Jody Smith for giving us a space to brag about the library and share news with our amazing Kingsville, Cottam and Ruthven supporters!
