It’s not very often that you can travel to Westcliffe, one of the most beautiful spots in Colorado, and meet in such a fantastic library with such an amazing group of library folks. The SEADs (SouthEast Area Directors) group meets quarterly and shares best practices and finds solutions to problems that face all library directors. Marty Frick, the director of the West Custer County Library District, led us through her art-filled library that was humming with locals.
