“A few years ago I was working with the library in a volunteer capacity. After having a discussion with Lisa (library director) about what was on the horizon for Seymour Library, including the upcoming children’s room renovation, I was so impressed I decided that I had to be part of it and became determined to do what was necessary to get on the board. I have never regretted my decision, there is so much happening, from the physical aspects to all the new programs being instituted. It makes me proud to say I’m a member of the board at Seymour Library and look forward to my tenure with great anticipation!” – Russ Harkins, Sennett Representative Secretary

“I credit my mother for my love of libraries, taking me to the bookmobile every week starting at age 5 and later signing me up for my first volunteer experience at our local library when I was about 10. In college, the library became a place for refuge, research, and study. Now, in retirement, it is a way to stay connected to my community. It seems I have come full circle by serving as a Seymour Library Trustee, supporting the work of the dedicated Library staff providing resources and experiences that connect our community in a meaningful way.” – Meg Vanek, Owasco Representative
