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

I retired from government service in October of 2025. My love of reading and desire to stay involved with the community led me to volunteer for the Clermont County Library Board of Trustees. My experience in county government, financial management, and library services is a great fit to represent the residents of Clermont County on the Library Board of Trustees.
