Remembering Deb Wainscott
It is with heavy hearts that the Friends of the Walnut Creek Library share the news that our beloved bookstore manager, Deb Wainscott, passed away on March 26th.
Deb was the face of the Friends: she was the one everyone knew because she was always volunteering at the library. Whenever there was a question, whether bookstore customers, library patrons, or staff, they went to Deb. Deb came to the Friends of the Library seventeen years ago. She regularly volunteered six hours a day managing the bookstore: sorting donations, organizing inventory, and helping volunteers. She worked tirelessly to ensure that we had the best bookstore possible. Deb was also a vital part of the online sales team.
We will all miss Deb’s spirit: her smiling face, and just knowing that she would be there in the library.
Donations can be made to the Friends of the Walnut Creek Library in her memory and dropped off at the bookstore. Credit card contributions can also be made there. The Friends mailing address P.O. Box 5764; Walnut Creek, CA 94596.
