See that smiling woman in the Rock Creek Mobile Home Park library? That’s Marilyn Aubuchon, official librarian. She’s the reason our library doesn’t look like a hoarder lives there. You might see her in the RC kitchen, too, usually in the shadows. She makes sure we always have cups, plates, and everything else when we need it. I caught Marilyn by the sleeve before she slipped away one day. “You take care of our library and kitchen supplies,” I said. “What’s that like for you?” “Organizing is my happy-place,” she answered, “and I like to watch the fun from a distance. I’ve been a bartender, server, and even a caterer. In all those cases, I was behind the scenes, but still in the picture. I feel at home in the kitchen. At the same time, I’m a reader, so taking care of books is like being around good friends.”
She may disappear after organizing, but the books and kitchen supplies at RC have Marilyn’s fingerprints all over them. Are we lucky!
Thank you all for the kind words.
I enjoy my time resupplying and spending time in the library.
I feel like I have a spare room in my home with my own library since moving to Dry Creek. I beat a path to that lovely look and smell in the corner on a weekly basis.
Thank you for all you do to make me even happier that I moved here.
Marilyn is amazing. We can all learn something from her quiet spirit and generous heart.
The heart of a librarian is akin to my own heart. Thank you for providing the organization that helps others find and read what enriches their lives. You do a most necessary work, serving others.
It’s those behind the scene people that always keep things running. Bravo to you
Thank you for joining us in giving Marilyn a thumbs up, Pat.
A LARGE thank you Marilyn for all your hard work! We always have enough of everything in the kitchen and THE BOOKS 📚. My word, it’s like the librarians of our youth have come back to ensure great reading, order and a lovely place to be. Beautifully done. Shhhhhhh… Donna
I really appreciate our library at RC. The books are best sellers! So much to choose from.
Thank you, Marilyn, for keeping our library so warm, welcoming, and organized. I stop by once in awhile and have enjoyed sitting in the comfortable chairs under the windows.
Thank you for your comment, Rhonda. As Marilyn says: “Good things don’t just happen; somebody’s behind it.” We have so many great people behind so many good things in Rock Creek Mobile Home Park!
Yay, Marilyn! The library and kitchen have never looked better. Thank you for making our clubhouse an inviting and interesting place to visit. See you ’round the campus!
Ain’t it like High School, Sandy? With so much “school spirit!”
