Have you Sparked Discovery yet?
The Radnor Memorial Library launched the Spark Discovery: Buy a Bookcase fundraising program in early March in support of their one million dollar Be Part of the Story Capital Campaign to Build a Better Radnor Library. To date, over 50 bookcases have been "sold" as part of the program. Make sure to get yours before space runs out!
Spark Discovery plaques are a wonderful end of the year gift for teachers from a classroom, a meaningful celebration of a special life event like a bar mitzvah or anniversary, and give high visibility to local businesses and organizations. For more information on the Buy a Bookcase program visit www.rmlstory.org/spark.

Meet the Staff
Molly Carroll Newton, Public Relations and Fundraising Coordinator
What is your role at RML?
I am currently the Public Relations and Fundraising Coordinator at RML. I started out as a part time Teen Program Coordinator eight years ago. On any given day, I maintain the library's website, create posters and publicity for upcoming library programs, design annual fundraising events for the library (like Elves for the Shelves) and represent the library at community events. For the past two years I've been spending much of my time working on the Be Part of the Story Capital Campaign.
What is your favorite thing about working at RML?
Getting to do new and different things every day!
What is something you do as a librarian that people would be surprised to learn?
I'm not actually a librarian (I don't hold a Masters in Library Science), but people may be surprised to learn that I designed and developed the new RML website that launched at the beginning of this year.
What are you most excited about in the library renovation?
I am really excited about the new dedicated space for teens.
What was your favorite subject in school?
Despite nearly catching the Chem lab on fire in college, I loved Organic Chemistry!
What was your dream job when you were growing up?
I actually had two dream jobs when I was growing up. I wanted to be a computer programmer AND and a stuntwoman.
