Hunter Children’s Library in her hometown of St. John’s, Newfoundland, where she and her parents relied heavily on the guidance of librarians to supply age-appropriate material for a voracious early reader. Kate’s love of reading helped carry her through law school at the University of Calgary, and she continues to devour a wide variety of fiction in her “spare” time. She has also passed her love of libraries down to her two children, who regularly accompany her to the Guiffre Family Library and Central Library locations. Kate sees libraries as exemplifying the best of our society and is excited to contribute to the growth and vibrancy of Calgary Public Library as a member of the Board.
