Term Expiration Date

Why I wanted to be a Library trustee:
I believe the Carol Stream Library is the heartbeat of the community; providing resources, programming, entertainment, education and a safe space for all. I want to be a part of the board to continue the work that has been done and improve on what is to come.

What I love about Carol Stream:
I have lived in Carol Stream since 1998 with my husband Rick. Carol Stream is a great place to live and raise a family. Residents are active and volunteer their time generously to create an amazing community.

Besides being a Board member, I'm involved in the community in the following ways:
I have been active in several community groups and clubs over the years; Carol Stream Independence Day Parade Committee, Organic Garden Club, Christmas Sharing and the Community Food Drive.

My favorite thing about our library:
I love that our library offers so many programs for residents of all ages. From the in-library experiences of picking out a great book, a movie or new music, to taking a class, to the online offerings to research, learn and be entertained. Our library offers resources, support, meeting space and literally something for everyone!

My all-time favorite things to read, watch, or listen to:
I remember walking to my local library as a kid to check out Nancy Drew books. Today I like to read historical fiction and dystopian future novels, with an occasional fun beach read. I can’t change the channel when Law & Order is on. And I can’t stop listening to music from the 80’s!
