We will miss you Rachel!
It is with regret that we announce the resignation of Rachel Zwahr from the Gordon Memorial Library Board. Rachel has been a highly valued member of our board, known to many through her “Rachel Reads” selections and her commitment to engaging our junior high readers.
Her thoughtful contributions helped strengthen and expand our youth-focused collections, and we are deeply grateful for the time, care, and creativity she brought to this work.
Due to health and personal demands, Rachel has stepped down from her board position. We are pleased that she will continue to support the library as a volunteer.
We extend our sincere thanks to Rachel for her service and wish her continued well-being.
Rachel’s contributions reflect the important role that engaged community members play in shaping our library’s future. In the coming weeks, we will share information about upcoming openings on the Gordon Memorial Library Board, along with an application process for those interested in serving as at-large members.
