Brenda is one of our residents and has recently taken on the role of being our in-house Librarian. Brenda says, “I like being useful, and I love to write, but don’t do it often now. I love looking through the books and their covers and choosing which ones I might like to read. I’ve been told we might be starting up a mobile library for residents in their rooms, and then I will be stamping or using tickets for the books.”
