Meet Our Trustees Q&A Becky Herrmann Q: Are you a New Hampshire native? What brought you here or made you stay? A: I am probably still considered a blow-in from MA, but I have lived in NH for just about 35 years. I worked at CPL in the late eighties and grew to love the library, the NH landscape and the people. Q: What part of the potential renovation do you think will be the most beneficial service/function to the community? A: I am excited to transform the 80 year old building into flexible and inviting space that accommodates changing technologies, better browsing of materials and expanded program space. The renovation will reinforce the library's role as a community gathering place. Q: What’s your favorite library service? A: Storytime, whether it is virtual or in-person, has always been an inspiration. And my grandsons love it now!
