Name: Kaycie Taylor
Volunteer position: Little Library Adopter at the Salina Regional Airport
How long have you been volunteering? Since April 2018
What does your volunteer work entail? I typically straighten up the books and pick up more books from the library when we run low
What do you enjoy about this work? I love being able to go through the little library book selection and picking my favorites and some that I have never read before. (I know they say not to judge a book by its cover, but sometimes there are some really interesting looking covers!) It’s always fun to be able to introduce people traveling through the airport to new and great books!
Why did you decide to volunteer for the library? I already work at the Airport, so it was fairly simple to step in and take over and it gives me an excuse to get to the library more often.
What books are you reading? I have two girls ages 5 and 3, so I don’t have much time to read, but I definitely squeeze as much reading in as possible and listen to audiobooks when I don’t have time to sit down and read. I love that my Kindle allows me to listen when I can’t read and pick up reading when I do have time. Being able to check out digital books through the library saves me TONS! I recently finished reading/listening to the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown for the second time and haven’t had the chance to start on something new, but you can usually find me with my nose in a sci-fi, mystery or fantasy novel! My Goodreads want-to-read list is entirely too long!
About The Author: Lori Berezovsky
Lori Berezovsky is the Information Services Outreach Librarian at Salina Public Library.
A native of DeKalb, Ill., Lori spent only one summer detassling corn for DeKalb AgResearch and made an impressive $2.35 per hour. She stayed in her hometown and graduated from Northern Illinois University with a B.A. and M.A. in art history. Lori moved to Kansas in 1990 with plans to get a Ph.D. in art history from KU, but that quickly turned into attending Emporia State University and receiving a second master’s degree in library and information science. She met a fellow library student named Nick and they married over spring break just before graduating.
Lori enjoys reading about, looking at, and researching anything having to do with art or art historical matters. Every spring she encourages her 30 fruit trees to bear well, and gardens on her three acres in Saline County. She appreciates the style of the 1920s-40s, and can often be found knitting, cooking (and eating) delicious Italian food, obsessively playing Words with Friends or working a crossword puzzle.
