As the Homewood Public Library returns to normal hours, you’ll see several new faces around the Library. One of those new faces belongs to Rachel, who is joining our Teen Department. We thought a great way to introduce Rachel to Homewood is with some silly/serious questions. Be sure to say hello to Ms. Rachel the next time you are in the Teen Department!
