She loves to facilitate connections between the people of our community by maintaining the library as a warm, open, welcoming space for all, with interesting programs, events and reading material.  When not in the library, Susan heads to her silversmithing studio to make one-of-a-kind jewelry and helps with what she can on the family’s farm. She enjoys reading plot-driven fiction and inspirational memoirs.
