Kerry Lippincott graduated from Binghamton University with a Bachelor of Arts in history, and received a master of arts in museum studies from the University of Kansas. A love of American history and sharing stories led to a career in museums. She has worked for historical societies in Kansas and in Upstate New York. She is currently the Executive Director of Historic Geneva. An avid reader, Rose Hill Mansion: From Progressive Farm to Historic House Museum is her first (and hopefully not last) book.

Max Whelan, who writes under the pen name Max W. Justus, has published one book titled The Unraveling: Book One of the Jeremiah and Susanne Series. The Unraveling is a story of youthful adventure as an elderly Jeremiah recounts the adventures of himself and his sister Susanne in trying to solve a centuries old murder. A grandfather and author, Max lives in Geneva with his wife Joanna.
Nancy Bauder, president of the Foundation Board of Directors, said, “The board has worked very hard to organize a new program that the public will enjoy as well as be educated on the intricacies of writing in today's world. She continued, “All of the funds collected are used to further long term financial security for the library.”
Event reservations are necessary and can be made by contacting the library in person or by phone at 315.789.5303. The cost for the three-hour event which runs from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, is $20 in advance or $25 at the door. The event is sponsored by the Community Bank of Geneva.
The Foundation was established in 2011 as a vehicle for investment in marketable securities because, as a school district public library, the Library is extremely limited in its investment opportunities. While the Foundation’s focus remains on long-term financial support, we understand that a commitment to the Library’s future should not come at a disservice to the Library’s present. To that aim, Foundation volunteers contribute hundreds of service hours for fundraising events in support of the library they love. If you would like to know more about volunteering, please contact the Library at 315-789-5303.
