Kasey's Love for Libraries

I have had a love for books ever since I was a kid. Of course, I had other interests too, but books were something that allowed me to learn about history, fight dragons, solve mysteries, explore utopian societies and so much more. Somewhere along the way, I was introduced to my local public library. I was hooked. From book clubs and reading challenges to story times and learning activities, my public library helped shaped me into the person I am today. Not only was it a great resource as a kid, but as I got older, I found a vital resource that helped me throughout school with research information and now in my adult life as I connect with the community around me. 

As a board member for the Friends of the Dallas Public Library, I am able to help our libraries serve as the same important resource for the next generation. The Friends have existed for over 75 years and have provided funds for various programs and projects. From capital campaigns for buildings to bookmobiles, they've done a little bit of everything. Current highlights include SMART Summer Reading, library staff development, branch support, early childhood literacy, vibrant neighborhoods and multicultural programming, and adult education opportunities.
