Dawn S, Editor

Dawn is a librarian, mother, and crafter who loves stories and art, so it’s only natural that she loves kid’s books the best (with cookbooks a close second).  Her favorite story is Duck on a Bike by David Shannon and her favorite illustrator is Lisbeth Zwerger.

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.

Dianna B, Contributor

Dianna loves painting, reading and her nieces! She especially loves picture books and finding out how an illustrator worked their magic. Her favorite book today is Green by Laura Vaccaro Seeger.

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.

Miriam R, Contributor

Miriam is a former preschool and elementary teacher, university curriculum center coordinator as well as current children’s librarian, mom, and grandma who is always a lover of children’s literature and reading. Almost every day she has a new “favorite” children’s book.

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.

The Social Media Team would like to thank Brian Farrar for creating these charming caricatures.  He has made our online personalities as friendly and inviting as we hope you feel when stepping inside the library.  You can see more of Brian’s work at http://bfarrar.webs.com.
