A Favorite Book: Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fieldings

Their Favorite Thing About Libraries: It was a great place to visit with my boys when they were young.  Now I would say the programs like Knitting/Crochet Night and the library provides reading material to further my hobbies.

Why a New Library: A new library would be infinitely rewarding for the people of Millstadt. A place to hold meetings, classes, and events for all ages. A new library would provide access to more reading material, computers, local history and a maker’s space.

A Favorite Book:  I enjoy Stuart Woods Stone Barrington Novel Series

Their Favorite Thing About Libraries: I love that libraries not only provide windows into worlds that most of us could never imagine, but that they are becoming more and more an integral part of communities in programming and education.

Why a New Library: The new library will allow us to service more of the community than ever before!   We look forward to being able to provide more space for meetings, studying, children and community programs, classes, and so much more.  We will also be able to increase our circulation.  In a time, especially now with everyone so use to being in their own bubble, we will have something new and exciting to pull our community even closer together and provide services that we have not been able to in the past.

A Favorite Book: Oh, The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss

Their Favorite Thing About Libraries: The library is full of many varied adventures just waiting for you to experience.

Why a New Library: The new library will provide the people of Millstadt with multiple inspiring spaces where we will have room to gather together or to go individually to learn, explore, discover and grow, no matter our age.
