Mary Shah is a librarian and archivist at Norwalk Hospital. She has served the hospital network for over 19 years. Ms. Shah has been active in educating patient care technicians, nurses, physician assistants, medical students, residents, fellows, physicians, and administrators on many topics. These areas include cultural humility, health literacy, critical thinking, quality improvement, and library instruction.

Ms. Shah proactively connects people with the information that they need in ways that they never knew existed. She accomplishes this in a variety of ways: in a one-on-one tutorial at the hospital library, a presentation on finding more trustworthy resources than “Dr. Google” at a local YMCA, a lightning presentation and the Medical Library Association, or a Department of Medicine Grand Rounds on Clinical Communication.

Ms. Shah is a senior member of the Academy of Health Information Professionals, a member of the Provider/Associate Care Team and the EDI committee for Graduate Medical Education. When not collecting, preserving, organizing and disseminating information in the health network, Ms. Shah is actively engaged in civic improvement, social justice, and protecting the environment. She is also a coffee-drinking vegetarian who loves dark chocolate as well as dogs and cats.

Mary has served as Deputy Supervisor since 2024. She has worked diligently to respond to constituents' concerns and ensure our infrastructure projects move forward in a fiscally responsible manner.

Mary and her husband Sanjit have raised two children in South Salem, and have been active and engaged community members with the Lewisboro Library.
