Many thanks to 2021 Library Lets Loose Honorary Hosts, longtime Library supporters Rick and Denise Mills. Rick is chief operating officer with CBIZ, and Denise is a leadership development consultant – both are voracious readers. Denise has been a passionate Library advocate for years and appeared in 2006 with then-First Lady Laura Bush and then-County Librarian Mona Carmack to accept an award recognizing JCL as one of the nation’s top Library systems. Our amazing hosts donated $25,000 and challenged all of us to join them by making a gift for Library resources!
