Virginia DeMumbrum has been hanging out in libraries since she was a little kid going to storytimes with her mom. When she moved to Whitehall with her own young children, one of the first things she did was find the local library and take them to storytime. The next thing she knew she was hired to lead storytimes, despite flunking scissors in kindergarten and dropping out of ukulele school. She became the director of the White Lake Community Library in 2019. Just as she was starting to feel settled in the job, the pandemic hit. She’s been a little unsettled ever since, constantly looking for new ways to adapt library services to meet community needs. In addition to her work at the library, she is deeply involved in her community, including serving a four-year term on city council. She and her husband still live in Whitehall and are fortunate to have their three young grandchildren living right next door. Their parents take them to storytime at the library, of course. Their grandparents prefer to take them kayaking and fishing.
