Enchantment Stack by stack, shelf by shelf, I pick out books all by myself. Page by page, line by line, word by word, I make books mine. With a wave of a card like a wizard’s right hand— and an alphabet-alchemy, life is just grand. —Jane Yolen

Early Life: Nicole grew up on a dairy farm in southwestern Ontario. Family: Nicole has 2 brothers, 1 sister, 3 nieces, 2 nephews... and a new niece or nephew on the way! Favourite Things: Being outside, hiking or biking. Spending time with family. Watching Jeopardy and The Amazing Race. Fun Fact: Nicole is a proud lefty! Out of her immediate family of six, three are lefties. What I Like About Marigold: "Working with colleagues that make me laugh and challenge me to grow is a highlight of being at Marigold. I also love having the opportunity to travel across south-central Alberta and see the diverse libraries and landscapes that make up our system." Audiobook Recommendation: The Martian by Andy Weir. This book appealed to both my science and literary backgrounds and R. C. Bray’s narration kept me on the edge of my seat!
