Why I wanted to be a Library trustee:
I believe in the importance of the library as a space for people to grow knowledge and pursue their interests. I believe in the mission of the library to promote literacy and education, as a gathering place for members of our community, and as a facilitator of digital inclusion. I wanted to be a Trustee so I could do something to help the library further that mission.
What I love about Carol Stream:
I love that Carol Stream is big enough to have great resources like our libraries, schools, and parks but still small enough that you always bump into someone you know when enjoying those resources.
Besides being a Board member, I'm involved in the community in the following ways:
I spent many years as a youth softball and basketball coach, and I am a parishioner at St. Isidore.
My favorite thing about our library:
I love how our library staff is always innovating and finding new ways to bring people in the library- from children to teens to adults, there is always something new going on at the library.
My all-time favorite things to read, watch, or listen to:
I really enjoy non-fiction. I am always on the lookout for a new title about a subject that I do not know much about (no shortage there). I love grabbing the audiobook version of that title so I can listen to it when I run or workout.
