Happy Thanksgiving!
I am grateful to have joined the Monterey Peninsula community and to meet so many wonderful people. It truly has been a warm welcome, and the people are what make our community special.
Last week, I attended the Central Coast National Philanthropy Day, where our own Monterey Public Library Friends & Foundation members were Distinguished Honorees. The Friends & Foundation work to support the Library - volunteering their own time to make a difference in the community. As I sat through the ceremony last week, I saw wonderful people from different agencies along the peninsula that work together, support and lift each others up, and are just making things happen to build a stronger community. MPL’s honorees, Doug Holtzman and Diane de Lorimier, embrace our community and volunteer their time for the sake of our library community; for that we are all so thankful.
