Evelyn Bowen, Operations Manager
“My plants bring me so much joy and happiness and give me a sense of accomplishment. In the summer, I spend time with them every day whether it's watering, trimming, or just admiring them. It does take time, dedication, responsibility, and research, but it's such a great hobby. I love it!!"
Neil Foulger, Electronic Resources / Serials Services Librarian
"My dining room walls exhibit some items from my post card collection. It's nice to look at places I either visited or have plans to visit at some point."
"I enjoy playing Scrabble to relax and visit with friends. Although I don’t play often, I enjoy the competition and the opportunity to build my vocabulary."
"I love doing yoga, and I practice every chance I get. It makes me stronger, increases my patience, and helps relieve stress."
