I am a retired middle school teacher from the ConVal District who has lived in Peterborough for the past 23 years.  I have become an active library user after my volunteer work with the 1833 Society, who raised the funds for the library renovation. I also chaired the committee who chose all of the furniture for the new library.  Currently, I spend my time pastel painting, gardening, reading and e-biking through the Monadnock Region.
