Marija Anderson - Treasurer
Libraries have been dear to my heart all my life, but especially since 1961 when I came to U. S. from Croatia and had to learn to read and write English. I have served both on the Mount Vernon City Library as a Library Trustee from 2006 - 2015, and I am still one of the original board members when the Mount Vernon Library Foundation was formed to present. I was president both on the Mount Vernon City Library and the Mount Vernon Library Foundation.
I have always had a very special attachment to the libraries as it was through the library usage that I learned to speak and write English. I cannot emphasize enough how valuable libraries have been to me. I love books and even with all the today's technology and computers I still like to pick up a book and read it. I hope that we will always have books available in the libraries.
I have worked for Stokley Van Camp followed by a position with the City of Mount Vernon in accounting, and retiring in 2014. I was instrumental in setting up the computerized accounting system he computer since I had an accounting background, and I set up fixed assets for all the Mount Vernon Departments as well as inputted inventory for the City Maintenance Shop.
Since the City of Mount Vernon is in the process of building a new library, hopefully towards the end of this year, I feel proud that I have been a part of it, making it possible for a dream of building a new library possible. My position with the MVLF now is a Treasurer.
