A Fort Worth Public Library Foundation board member, he is proud of how <strong>the Foundation supports the Library<\/strong> as it serves the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seth works at Desert Royalty Company. In his spare time, he can be seen checking out books from the library with his family and volunteering at church. He loves caring for and helping those in need\u2014just like the Fort Worth Public Library does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cLibraries serve such a massive purpose,\u201d<\/strong> Seth said, <strong>\u201cThey provide easy access to information and resources in a way that can be transformational to communities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seth has seen the Fort Worth Public Library Foundation change lives through the <a href=\"https:\/\/fwlibraryfoundation.org\/programs\/launchpad\"><strong>LaunchPad program<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cLaunchPad is incredible because of how <strong>influential<\/strong> it is in students\u2019 lives.\u201d He jokingly told Paula, \u201cI want her to be around until all of my kids go to college!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is very impressed with the Library\u2019s leadership. \u201cI think Manya Shorr receiving <strong>librarian of the year<\/strong> speaks for itself. Her willingness to have libraries open during the pandemic and come up with creative ideas to serve underserved populations is incredible.\u201d He is also excited about library <strong>expansion<\/strong> and future projects that will reach even more community members, such as satellite libraries attached to community centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seth believes that under Andrea Ash\u2019s leadership, the board is better able to serve the Library.<br>\u201cI really appreciate Andrea\u2019s leadership. I like serving alongside her because she\u2019s focusing the stated goals and intentions of the board, and she wants it to become <strong>more streamlined and more effective<\/strong> in its support of the library.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seth and his family have experienced the benefits of the library\u2019s programs, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortworthtexas.gov\/departments\/library\/programs\/libby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Libby app<\/strong><\/a> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortworthtexas.gov\/departments\/library\/programs\/story-times\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Story Time<\/a><\/strong>.
