Welcome Tricia, to the Brandon Library!
 Hi! I am Tricia Nations. I live outside of Florence with my wonderful trophy husband, Richard, three dogs, ButterButt the Mixed Breed Mutt, Wrangler, and Peaches. We also have two American Guinea Hogs, Ida Sue and Gertie Belle Nations. I am a huge fan of animals!
My favorite book is "The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton. My favorite genre right now is Romantasy. I am an avid reader and will pretty much read anything with words. Working at the Brandon Library is a dream come true for a book dragon like me!
In my free time, I enjoy making stuff. All. The. Stuff. I love knitting, watercolor, paper crafts, acrylic painting, and my favorite, Mixed Media Art. The library has given me the opportunity to share my love for dabbling in the arts with the community. Crafty Chaos kicked off our first group meeting in February with 27 people! Each month, we will feature a different craft, socialize, and snack on some treats. We will meet on the first Tuesday of every month; be sure to sign up for the next chaotic craft! Thank you, Brandon Community, for your continued support of the public library! |
