Libby V

I'm an adult services associate and my reading tastes tend toward mysteries, LGBTQ+ literature, memoirs and books about sustainability or music. When I'm not reading books on my to-read list or adding books to my to-read list, I am almost always watching "Star Trek," cooking vegetarian food, thinking intently about doughnuts and/or snuggling my greyhounds.
