Before retiring, Ann was an Instructional Special Aid Assistant for the Chico Unified School District.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in being involved, Ann sought out the Friends of the Library in Chico, having knowledge of the group from being previously involved with them in Cambria.<\/p>\n<p>While Ann\u2019s main duties for CFOL include setting up for the weekend book sales, she also works on any projects that need doing at the library. She loves being crafty and enjoys making posters.<\/p>\n<p>Even in retirement Ann is a busy bee. She takes guitar lessons and tries to enjoy the outdoors as often as possible, whether that is hiking, bird watching or gardening. If she can\u2019t be found outside or at the library you can probably find her reading the latest mystery to catch her eye.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Libraries?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ann believes that libraries are important because of the support they give a community. Having a library reflects how our society values the spread of knowledge and allows everyone to have access to the same information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublic libraries are free and available to everyone,\u201d says Ann. \u201cIt is good to be exposed to this place of knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Books:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ann\u2019s favorite genre is mystery, though she reads a variety of books because of her participation in a local book club.<\/p>\n<p>Authors Ann recommends to those on the hunt for a good mystery include Anne Perry, Laurie King and Jacqueline Winspear. The Maisie Dobbs mystery series is one of her favorites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About: Ann Elliott has been a pillar of support to the Chico Friends of the Library since her move to Chico in 1996.
