Ms. Losee holds an MLIS from UNC-Greensboro (Library and Information), and has been a reference librarian in Adult Services, for the Matthews Branch Library since 2001. Prior to that, she was a reference librarian at Morrison Regional Library from 1998 to 2001.
“I have found over the years that many adults and seniors enjoy discussing the past, especially if it relates to a time when they were growing up as children and young adults and how it shaped our present world and their lives,” Ms. Losee said.
The presentation dates and topics are as follows:
- Friday, June 1, 10 a.m.: 1900-1939 – A Time for Change
- Friday, June 8, 10 a.m.: 1940-1969 – War and Turbulence
- Friday, June 15, 10 a.m.: 1970-1999 – Hope and Dispair
“I encourage participation during these presentations, so if anyone wants to comment or ask questions, more the better,” Ms. Losee said. “I try to make the presentation humorous and informative as much as I can.”
