Patty Roberts

New Marketing Coordinator

 

I grew up in Potsdam, New York and received my B.S. in Marketing from the University of Vermont. In 1989, my husband, Mike, and I moved to Chelsea and started our family.  I have served on the boards of numerous Chelsea-Area organizations and recently worked in the Development Department at Chelsea Community Hospital. 

 

When Mike and I chose to live in Chelsea, we had no idea what a wonderful community it would turn out to be to raise our two sons, Michael (23) and Patrick (21).  Since our boys were toddlers, we have been coming to the Chelsea Library, first at the old McKune Home, next at the Washington Street Center and now at its current location in downtown.  As the new Marketing Coordinator, I am thrilled to be a part of the Chelsea District Library team!  I hope that I am able to give as much back to the Library as it has given to our family over the many years.

The world can be a brutal place - eat or be eaten. In order to deal with this constant dilemma hunters and the hunted have evolved different strategies to give themselves a fighting chance. Join us for our last workshop journey through time as we explore the strategies that predators and prey have used to try to keep a leg up on the competition.  

 

Present Day Predators and Prey: 

Maintaining the balance.
In the circle of life there is a delicate balance of predators and prey, each keeping the other in check. This workshop will explore how we monitor the health of those relationships and what we can do to maintain the balance.
