Why did you volunteer to join the Library's Board?

I have enjoyed the benefits of Clermont County most of my life.  Those benefits have helped me to grow as a person in many areas. I have a desire, and also feel that I have a responsibility, to return something to Clermont County. The Library is a wonderful entity that benefits the entire Clermont County community. I’m very pleased to be able to give through the Library, a great asset of our community.
