Robin Sanford grew up in a small town in Maine, and has wandered through Iowa and England, as well as Buffalo, where she received her MLS, and Rochester. She is very happy to be living in a small town once again. Robin answers computer and reference questions at the library. In her spare time she loves to read or play board, card, and role-playing games. Drop by during Board Games and More and say hello! Robin also sews, knits, crochets, felts, and makes candles. We are delighted to have Robin on our library team.
