How long have you lived in Tomkins Cove? I have lived in Tomkins Cove since 2012. Before that, I lived in Tomkins Cove from 1991 - 1995.

What is your favorite part about living in Tomkins Cove? What I most love about living in Tomkins Cove is the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley, especially the view of the river from our backyard, and the great people I've met here, starting with our original friends back in the early 1980's, when we began visiting the area.

Do you have a special memory at the library? My favorite memory of the library is the very first time I saw the outside of the beautiful, historic building many years ago. Also, more recently, being able to find any DVD that I've been unable to find elsewhere in our collection!

What is your favorite book? My favorite book is "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck.

Anything else we should know about you? I grew us in Salamanca, NY, a town in western NY, that had a Carnegie Library, and I’ve loved libraries ever since.
