MARTHA HUTZEL • DIRECTOR
There's no better place to prepare for fall than your local library! We have all of the resources for the Back to School (pages 5-6) needs of students of all ages. We can help you Discover Your Roots (pages 25-26) before the holiday season begins and, learning more about distant relatives can make for great conversation at family events. In November, take a class and Create! (pages 9 - 10) a gift for someone else or maybe just for you . In today's world, we all know someone who has been touched by the opioid crisis. In September, our Porter and Salem Church Branches are each hosting a Community Conversation (page 30) on the topic, creating a space for sharing questions, concerns and ideas. Join us on November 3 at our 2nd Annual Writers Conference (page 28) at the Howell Branch. This day of celebration is a great way to learn and connect whether you are already a published author or are just getting started.
Our MakerLab offerings are growing! We now have special tablets (page 8) at our Howell Branch that allow your drawings to appear immediately on the screen and even allows you to animate them. Earn your special badge to use t he tablets independently! W e're once again hosting our Launch It! Trebuchet Contest (page 9). Build your own or attend a build-it session in one of our MakerLabs.

behind the scenes How did you get involved with working for the library? Wilson: I started part-time with CARL doing electrical work about 25 years ago and just stayed! Bill: I was Wilson's neighbor. and about ten years ago he needed some help with a project. It just snowballed from there! What has been your favorite projects? Wilson: Remodeling the first and third floors of the Fredericksburg Branch. Bill: The demolition of the lower level at t he Fredericksburg Branch. I like both t he demolition and the construction process. but I prefer demolition!
What would you like to see happen in the library's future? Wilson would like to see a branch in Massaponax. What do you like best about working for the library? They agree t hat it's t he people! What is one of the best-kept secrets about the library you wish people knew? Bill: The Fredericksburg Branch has a cornerstone dated 1908. Wilson Brittle and Bill Carden Facilities Maintenance
What do you do when you're not working? Wilson likes to relax in t he yard and golf. Bill likes to do yard work and travel. especially cru ises. He also enjoys his solitaire games!
What are you reading, listening to, or watching? Bill watches Game of Thrones. The Walking Dead. and Highlander.
Commuter It's Fall! The days are getting shorter, the air is turning colder, and what better way to enjoy the new season on your commute than with a heart-pounding story.
