Hi, nice to meet you! You probably know we’re pretty fond of libraries. But did you know that Sean’s favorite animal is the Sunflower Beaver, or that Scott is in a band called Astronaut Merit Badge? Cassie rides her skateboard to work, Angel's favorite read is Where Things Come Back and Melody played the marimba on TV.
