What experiences do you have that make you a good candidate for office?

I am a Title I Reading Specialist at Mooseheart employed by the Batavia Public Schools. This is a role that requires leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills. It is imperative that I have knowledge about library materials and activities. I was selected as the interim Batavia Library Trustee in December of 2011 and will fill that position until after the election in April of 2013. During my time as Trustee, I participated in Board and Committee Meetings, special events related to the library, and fulfilled all the regular duties of a Trustee. I am a mother with three children in the library district and we visit the library and participate in events on a regular basis. I am very passionate about reading and learning. It is very important to me that the library remains a strong cornerstone of Batavia life through its physical presence and the materials and services it provides.
