How long
have you volunteered at FCPL?
Since 2010
What made
you choose to volunteer at FCPL?
John
and I had just retired and moved to Cumming from Scottsdale, AZ to be closer to
our daughters’ families. Previously I had worked in a medical laboratory and
wanted to do something completely different. I have loved reading, books, and
libraries all my life, so this was a great fit. I also wanted to learn about
our new community and Forsyth County. I can’t think of a better place to learn
than the library. Another incentive was that Hampton Park was scheduled to open
in 2010 and our granddaughters lived in that subdivision. I thought I would be
helping out there. The Materials Department had other ideas, but I was able to
help get the materials prepared for Hampton Park so I felt that I directly
helped my granddaughters get a fine local library branch up and running.
What is your favorite part of volunteering at FCPL?
The
people with whom I work are awesome. In all departments they are friendly,
knowledgeable and supportive and have made me feel special since the day I
started. I also love the sense of contributing to the community.
What’s the most interesting place you’ve lived or
traveled?
We
have been fortunate to have lived for 5 years in the Netherlands and visited 30
countries and 44 U.S. states. I have enjoyed every one of the places we have
lived and visited, so I really can’t choose a favorite.
What are your hobbies?
Besides
traveling, I love painting with oils, acrylics and watercolor, gardening,
spending time with our families, and
enjoying time with our dog, Buddy, and cat, Black Piet, (both rescue animals). I
also volunteer at the Cumming Library Friends Bookstore and am hospitality
chair of the Sawnee Association of the Arts.
What are you reading right now?
I am
currently reading MacPherson’s Lament by Sharyn McCrumb
Paper books, eBooks, or audiobooks?
Paper,
please!
Is there anything else you’d like to share?
The
Forsyth County Public Library system is the best I have ever seen. I can’t
think of a better place to volunteer.
