Lyn Stevens was one of the first volunteers in the Windsor Severance library’s PAWS program which started 5 years ago. Lyn and Tess come every Thursday after school and read with children of all ages. Tess is always the “best dressed” dog at the library. She wears colorful collars that coordinate with the seasons. Lyn says that Tess “loves to get dressed up in her jazzy collars and leashes!” She also loves to be petted by the children and library staff.
In her free time, Lyn enjoys reading, sports, cooking, gardening and walking her two dogs, Tess and Troon. Lyn volunteers with Troon by taking him on Therapy Dog visits at care facilities for the elderly. Lyn also volunteers for 2 other non-profit groups.
Lyn, Tess and Troon live in Windsor with Lyn’s husband Tom and their Siamese cat Sawyer.
Lyn said one of the things she enjoys about volunteering at the library is being read to by the children. She hears so many wonderful stories that she wouldn’t hear otherwise.
Lyn’s favorite books are The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle, and The Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. Lyn especially enjoys mysteries.
Her favorite movies include The English Patient, Out of Africa, Dr. Zhivago, the Parent Trap (the original version), Gone with the Wind, The Harry Potter movies and the Beverly Hills Cop movies.
Lyn and Tess help make the Windsor Severance Library a special place. Thank you, Lyn, from the library staff and patrons for your wonderful service. The library is lucky to have such a dedicated volunteer.
