We will deliver them to eight different partner agencies. Questions? Contact Laureen Smith.

Happy Retirement, Marian!

We celebrated with a retirement party for Marian Stevenson, our library team leader, complete with homemade cookies and roses on Tuesday! During Marian’s almost twenty-year term, our library was physically relocated twice within WPC and, more recently, our catalog was computerized and later migrated to the cloud—Amazing and so much appreciated! Thanks Marian, for all you’ve done!
