New years always bring changes, and the Library is starting a new chapter this year. When manager Matt Shaw (aka "Librarian M") retired the end of 2023, we prepared to welcome our new manager Ashley Rose. Of course, the Library's Furry Ambassadors asked her the tough questions. Read on to get to know our new leader better.
Furry Ambassadors: What do you like to do when you're not at work?
Ashley: I love being at home with my husband (Bear), my rescue dogs (Luna and Nisa), and my rescue cats (Rosie and Rosco). They each bring me so much joy and I love spending time with them! I also love traveling to explore new places and visiting my family in Arizona!
What's your favorite imaginary animal?
Hippogriff! Buckbeak is my favorite "animal" character in the Harry Potter series!

Favorite genre to read?

How did you decide to become a librarian?
Once upon a time I was a Language Arts teacher that taught my students how to love reading! In doing so, I also taught myself how to love reading even more and from there I had a desire to become a librarian. But wait there's more! My first real job was as a Library Assistant at the Montgomery County Public Library during the summers while I was in school getting my teaching degree. From that experience, I knew the secret of how much fun being a librarian could be!

What's your favorite dinosaur?
Brachiosaurus, it's been my favorite since "The Land Before Time" movies and will forever be my favorite because they don't eat meat and were peaceful giants!

If you could "travel" into any book, what would it be and why?
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll simply because I would like to have nonsensical adventures in Wonderland and also meet the Cheshire Cat!
