Why are libraries important to you? Libraries preserve information, the basis of making good decisions. In order to maintain a democracy, an informed public is needed. That information is available equally for all at the library.
Favorite book, author, or type of reading material?
I like to read history, classics, novels, science-fiction, fantasy and mystery. One of my favorite books was Moby Dick by Herman Melville. The whaling information was fascinating. One of my new favorite fantasy writers is Patrick Rothfus, author of The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fears.
