My name is Andrea Merrick, Branch Manager at the Hopewell Branch Library. Let me introduce you to the Branch staff - Hope, Diane, Donna, Eileen, Jewell, Judy, Robin and Ross are all ready to assist you at the Circulation Desk. At the Reference Desk, you will be helped by Karen, Anna, John or our Youth Services Librarians, Briana and Connie.
