Hello Paula! New Outreach Staff
We’re excited to introduce Paula Faught as our new Outreach Specialist! You may have previously seen her at the Youth Services Desk, but she has now moved to the 1st floor and taken on a different role. She will provide services and materials to residents in senior living facilities and nursing homes as well as residents who are homebound for any reason and unable to come to the library. If you or someone you know (parent? great aunt? SAHM with limited transportation?) are interested in our Outreach program, please call the Library and ask for Paula. If you can’t come to the Library, we’ll come to you! |
