SECRETARY
Galesburg Public Library Foundation, Executive Director
I am the Executive Director of the Galesburg Public Library Foundation, with over two decades of involvement with the library. My journey began 23 years ago when I first obtained a library card in Galesburg. I have been a patron, volunteer, and library employee, developing a deep connection with the institution. Recently, I played a key role in a successful capital campaign, securing $4.2 million to build a new, state-of-the-art library. I am committed to strengthening the Foundation's mission, envisioning the library as a vibrant hub of knowledge, inspiration, and community connection for future generations.
