My name is Anne LaRoche. I grew up in Faribault, MN. I graduated St. Olaf College with a History degree and had no idea what to do next. After working in the wilderness on the border of Canada and trying to live North Dakota, I eventually went back to school for Library and Information Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
I accepted the position as Director of the Frances L Simek Memorial Library and finished my degree online after moving to Medford. I am thankful for all Medford has given me, I get to do what I love surrounded by good friends. As a librarian my favorite book changes with the day, but I live for smart comedies. Life needs more spicy personalities and coffee breaks.
