Sara P, Editor

Sara is a librarian, technology lover, and parent who loves to read fiction.  Her favorite book is Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver.

Angela F, Editor

Angela loves pro football, small fuzzy animals, the world’s best nieces, and that one time she got to jump out of a plane. Her reading references are as varied as her interests, though she particularly loves quirky nonfiction and unusual memoirs. She refuses to pick one “favorite” book, but admits that her copy of Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods is particularly dog-eared.

Benita B, Contributor

Benita loves History, trivia, and movie lines. She prefers to read fiction, but will read the occasional biography or books on personal finances. Her favorite book is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith.

Becky C, Contributor

Becky likes to read … A LOT. When she’s not reading, she likes to pretend that she can garden. Her thumb has no hint of green whatsoever but luckily her plants are forgiving. Her favorite books are The Shannara series by Terry Brooks.

Heather G, Contributor

Heather (Miss Heather to most) has many, many children–but none that live at her house. She is a little crafty, somewhat musical, and loves to cook and eat! She likes to read cookbooks, memoirs (a kind of autobiography) and novels. Her favorite book from childhood is Whose Mouse Are You?

Marra H, Contributor

For years, Marra would visit libraries, browse the shelves, and ponder what she wanted to be when she grew up. And the library was exactly where she was supposed to be. While she won’t confess to a “favorite” book, she freely admits a deep obsession with audiobooks and proudly owns 2 old-school boomboxes.

Kris L, Contributor

Books … Kris loves them … she loves to read them, share them, talk about them! Her favorite book is The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare.

Mary V, Contributor

Mary enjoys reading books in both paper & digital format, loves carbo-loading before runs, and collects pin-back buttons. She is also passionate about both the idea and the actuality of public libraries, and all the resources and activities they offer to all types of customers. One of her favorite books — because there is ALWAYS more than one way to look at something — is Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Tom Lichtenheld.

Becky W, Contributor

Becky interviewed presidents as a journalist but she left that world to become a librarian — a job that she enjoys ALMOST as much as she enjoys being a grandma.  Her favorite book is the Bible.

Rebecca W, Contributor

Rebecca loves dogs, travel, and books – especially history and historical fiction. Her favorite book is The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
