work and conclusions. As far as my activities are concerned, I am involved with an online

Please describe your interest in serving on the community advisory committee.
I am interested in serving on the community advisory committee because I am a longtime resident of this community and want to see Lakewood continue to grow and thrive
in an positive and equitable way. I believe that it will be important to have a diverse amount of voices as we decide how to move forward in providing library services in areas
that will greatly benefit from whatever improvements are made. I am someone that will be intentional about being inclusive to all voices, and making sure that I am a sounding
board for the community and not just myself. I want to be a part of the good work that the City of Lakewood is doing as we strive to make Lakewood better, together. I am also
someone who uses the libraries facilities. I still believe in the importance and value of bringing my kids to check out books and explore all that the library can offer. I know that
together we can build and advisory proposal that benefits the city in remarkable ways.
