Getting To Know Our Volunteers! Pt.7

If you have ever visited the 'Lunch Bowl' at the library on a Tuesday, then there is a good chance you have had the opportunity to taste one of the grilled cheese sandwiches made by our resident grill expert Patrick. It is thanks to volunteers like Maureen and Patrick that the library can offer such a wonderful program.

I love books that teach me something, even a fiction novel can introduce real-world ideas and concepts.

What fictional character are you most like?

Probably a combination of Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park, Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes and Johnny Bravo. Ask anyone who knows me - despite what my birth certificate says, "mischief" is my middle name.
