She was the best person she could be. Nothing could describe her effect on the changes of the Library staff in Wilson. May the warmth of her known complicity surround her; may her family be comforted in this time of loss.

I met Molly last fall after a meeting at the library where she announced her upcoming retirement. She made quite an impression on me, as we connected over making books that represent marginalized communities accessible to all. I left feeling I´d found a wonderful new friend in Wilson. We didn´t stay in touch, soon after I had my own health issues to contend with...I´m so glad I got to meet Molly just for the hour we spent enthusiastically chatting like two old friends. She will be missed,...
