Family storytime

TAMMYI was born in St Louis, Missouri

and from the time I was in kindergarten I loved books and reading. I date myself but we had a bookmobile that I would not get o�.

Since then reading is at the top of my favorite things to do. I have been in Illinois for more

than 25 years and worked in our library system for 15 of them, and LOVE it. By the way I do the buying for adult books

and cataloging.

I have a horse farm, so that makes riding another favorite

and I also love to garden, which I have huge flower

and shrub beds.

We have a great community here in Morris and we are

open now and have been for months...come in and see us!
