Cheryl enjoys volunteering at the library mending books and getting them back on the shelf for your reading pleasure. Retired from nonprofits, Cheryl now works on an organic farm earning her "share" of food every week in addition to enjoying hiking, cooking, and traveling with her husband of 25 years. Of course, she also loves to read . . . good thing it comes with the territory at the library.
