Cathy is another 'recent' addition to the staff, having been with the Library about 5 years now. She hails from Rhode Island and got into the library field by way of teaching and working with special needs children. Being the youngest on the staff at the time, she was called to work with the teens and preteens when we decided to ramp up our services to this age group. But most of the time, Cathy can be found in the children's room, ready to help kids of all ages find just what they want - and often something they didn't realize they wanted until they dipped into the book.
Like so many of the people who work here at Kelley, Cathy has a fun sense of humor. However, she takes her job very seriously, carefully considering all the factors when planning a program, selecting materials, and everything else that comes her way. She has an easy manner with everyone who uses the children's room, and is sincerely concerned about the children who come in.
I asked her the famous 5 questions:
1. When I am not at the library, you can find me: In Rhode Island, visiting my family.
2. Describe your perfect day: On the beach, reading a book, followed by a nice dinner and then somewhere afterwards, like a play or Cirq du Soleil.
3. If you had to live somewhere else than NH, where would it be? I want to travel, but I would start with Ireland.
4. What 3 things can you always find in your fridge? Ice cream, salad mix, and turkey.
5. You would be surprised to find out that I: was a party girl in college.
Cathy is all grown up now, and is a very caring person with children. She's another person that makes the staff here so special.
