Alisa Mazur, Clerk
Alisa is one of our library "moms" You can always find her with a smile and she's happy to help in any way. When not in the library you can almost always find Alisa in her garden spending time with her plants. She loves local history with her favorites being from Arcadia Publishing Local History, a company that has many books about Michigan history.
Stephanie "Cricut" Marberg, Clerk
Stephanie, AKA CRICUT, is our resident crafty lady. Some of us like to craft...Stephanie lives to craft. Her mind is always whirling and she's an entire library (see what we did there) of ideas. She has a regular day job, but we think she likes us more. She is a Ray Township resident and her husband, Justin, is a Ray Firefighter also. Her daughter Mya loves the library and she likes to do crafts too. It must be in their genes. One of her favorite books is The High Five Habit, by Mel Robbins. High Five Stephanie, thanks for helping keep us crafty chic.

Marena goes to Oakland University where she is majoring in Biomedical Science. She also loves to dance her heart out. When she's not saving the world or creating her own version of footloose, she enjoys baking and hanging out with her Maltese Yorkie Bella-Mia. We are excited to have Marena on our team! Marena also enjoys torturing herself with one of her favorite books, A Child Called "It", by Dave Pelzer.
Trish Bloom, Clerk
Trish joined us through our book club and became a library staple! She always has 2-3 books going at a time and she will read just about any genre. A recent favorite she would recommend is The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. Trish loves the water, so when you can get her nose out of the books, you'll probably find her toes in the water at the beach or the pool. She has 3 adult children and 2 grandkids to keep her busy when she's not loving her library job. She also just opened her own Little Free Library at her home, Bookhaus at Bloomhaus! Charter #188137 Stop on by!
