Teresa was interviewed by Brenda Hepler on September 2nd, 2009. She was already serving on the Lafayette School Board when she was asked to part of the steering committee working on the new library. At the time she joined there was limited enthusiasm for funding this project within the community. That changed after Teresa became involved with this effort, as she gave presentations to groups living in all parts of the city, helped identify prospective major donors, and became co-chair of fundraising when the Public Campaign was launched. She saw the new library as an opportunity for partnership between the City, its schools, and the community with its lifelong learning needs.
