If you have visited the library in the last few months you probably have seen a new face, Dena. Read the bio below to find out more about Dena and what the library hopes to accomplish with this grant.
My name is Dena Wurster. I am a Macon transplant. My family and I have lived here for eight years. I graduated from Indiana State University with a degree in business management. I then stayed home with my children. Eventually I started working remotely from home. While I felt very fortunate to have those opportunities, I needed more social interactions as I felt increasingly isolated. I would volunteer and help with my children’s activities and schools. When the opportunity to become the Community Engagement Coordinator for South Macon Public Library became available, I saw it as a chance for me to grow and become more involved with my community. The South Macon Public Library sees this grant as a bridge that will hopefully bring more people to the library while fulfilling some needs the community has. I hope this grant will allow us to show the community what an asset our little library can be.
