The former head librarian at Swaney Memorial Library in New Cumberland has entered a plea in two felony charges and now must make restitution.

Jane Mehaffey and her attorney appeared before Chief Judge Martin Gaughan of the First Judicial Circuit Tuesday after reaching a plea agreement with the county prosecutor’s office.

Hancock County Prosecutor James W. Davis Jr., charged that from on or about April 1, 2005, to Sept. 26, 2006, Mehaffey committed the offenses of falsifying accounts, engaging in fraudulent schemes and embezzlement.
