Anne got her first library card at age 3 when she was able to write her name on her card.

Anne moved to Hainesville in 2003 and lives with her husband, Douglas Williams. Anne works for the Housing Authority of Cook County. Anne spends her free time crafting, sewing and woodworking and usually finds inspiration in books from the library.

Library Board Trustee - Brittany Kearby
brittany.kearby@rlalibrary.org
Brittany and her husband, Reed, along with their son, enjoy walking to the library. They would go to make a guess for ‘Who’s that Pokémon’, and also to put a Pokemon at the gym in Pokemon Go. Both of them were lucky enough to have their guess be correct and win. With her nose stuck in a book, Brittany loves to read. In between being a mom and working as a store manager in retail, Brittany reads about 30 books a year. She moved to Round Lake in 2021.
