Meet Cheryl

What drew you to working at the library? And how has the library changed since?

Since I first stepped aboard a bookmobile as a child, I have admired the mission of libraries- to make books and information available to everybody, regardless of who they are or how much money they have. When I started working here, the library had only very recently started using computers to check out books, book fines were only 5 cents a day, and the only public space downstairs was the meeting room. Since then, we’ve grown our collection and services to the point where we’re using every inch of the building, but I’m happy to see with all that growth, we are still known as a friendly, people-focused library.

What is your role at the library?

I’ve had a few jobs here over the years, but right now, I am an Administrative Services Assistant. I do some things you usually think of as secretarial duties, but I also plan author programs and debates, maintain emergency supplies and equipment, write for the library’s Facebook page, feed the fish, and generally help out wherever I’m needed.

If you could interview one person (dead or alive) who would it be?

Thomas Jefferson. From what I can tell, he was a very intelligent and kind man with a wide variety of interests and accomplishments. I think it would be particularly interesting to get his impressions on modern life and the American political system.

People would be surprised if they knew…

That I enjoy tent camping alone in the snow.

Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why?

Wales. When we visited, we stayed in a little miner’s cottage near Machynlleth and took day trips out to different parts of the country. The scenery was beautiful, the people were friendly, and there was a nice mix of traditional and quirky things to see and do.

Amusingly, our host felt the “don’t miss” attraction was a little nearby lake. It was lovely, but coming from Lake County, we were far more interested in the mountains all around us.
