When she's not off reading somewhere, Mrs. Burns loves to practice ballet,
yoga and pilates. Otherwise, you might find her out on the waterway paddling
her yellow kayak or happily applauding some of the amazing local theater
talent we have in Wilmington, especially that of former students!
Come visit the library soon!
