About Laura Frandsen

What motivated you to become a Director for the Friends of the Library.

I was interested in doing more community volunteer work and once I learned about the Friends of the Library and all the incredible things they were doing, I knew this was the perfect opportunity for me. I love reading and I think people forget all the benefits a library card can bring you – and it’s free!

 

What superpowers do you bring to the FOL Board?

Enthusiasm and a willingness to do the work. The library has so many new and creative features that I wasn’t aware of and now I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned with anyone who will listen! I love learning new things and I’m ready to take on new challenges.

 

Where were you born, and how long have you lived in Tallahassee?

I was born in New York, moved to Plantation, Florida when I was in middle school, then came to Tallahassee to go to Florida State and never left!
