William McLean moved to Hillsborough with his family in 2021 from Durham. He is a librarian, information specialist, and web developer at MDB, Inc., where he supports U.S. federal government clients, including the NIEHS and EPA. He has also worked for the Manuscripts and Rare Books Department of the Walters Art Museum, Rare Book School at the University of Virginia, the Health Sciences Library at UNC Chapel Hill, and the David M. Rubenstein Library at Duke University. Growing up, time spent in the library or visiting the bookmobile, discovering books that inspired and expanded his interests, played a pivotal role in his decision to pursue librarianship.
As a passionate advocate for literacy, education, and community engagement, William serves on the board to actively contribute to enriching the community’s access to knowledge, resources, and lifelong learning opportunities.
