About Me
- Mamie
- Maine, United States
- After a working life filled with many twists and turns, I finally figured out what I should be doing with my life - be a librarian. The last few years have seen some interesting twists and turns. Am now the director at the Auburn (ME) Public Library. What a privilege! When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my husband, our large extended family, a remote control switching between games, a book, knitting, or a needle and thread in my hand.
