Ann Horn is our Volunteer of the Month for February.
Horn currently serves as the Chair of The Strathmore Library Board and was very shocked to hear she won.
"I'm super excited the Library Board is a group of people, and we work together as a team, and I couldn't do it without them."
The reason why Horn got involved in the library is because she loves to read and meet new people.
"I just moved to Strathmore, and I wanted to meet a group of people. The main reason I did it is I love to read. I've been in a book club for over 25 years."
The Town of Strathmore selects citizens to be on the library board and Horn was chosen to serve three years ago and hopes to continue doing that work as her term is coming to an end.
In some people's minds a library is used to just pick up new books and return old books, but Horn explained that it's much more than that.
"We have people that have lost their jobs through no fault of themselves, and they need that space to hunt for jobs or use computers to go online. It's just a safe place."
If residents are feeling nervous about getting out there and volunteering Horn has some advice.
"Pick your thing that you enjoy the most and volunteer because it's a bit of a way to give back."
Congratulations to Ann Horn for being the most recent Volunteer of the Month.
