At The Russell & District Regional Library, Sherry Bauming-Stasiuk’s resignation as Library Assistant has come as an enormous surprise to all of us. “I am walking away with some amazing memories and some wonderful friendships” Sherry says. Sherry has been a fixture at the Library for many years: known for her love of acronyms, eye-catching window displays and no-nonsense approach to life. Sherry will be at the Library until February 24th, 2023. Please come in and let Sherry know she’ll be missed. We wish Sherry well and look forward to seeing her out and about in the community.
