As the Homewood Public Library works to re-open more, we’re bringing in a few new faces to help us. Meet Ella! Ella is joining our Adult Services Department. To break the ice, we asked Ella a bunch of fun questions so you can get to know her. When you pop into the Library, be sure to say “Hi!” and “Welcome to the Library!” to Ella.
