WHEREAS, Marcia Manzo has always had a passion for libraries; and
WHEREAS, when Marcia and her husband, Peter, and their children settled in the Bay Area,
they were drawn to the Saratoga community because of the well-known Saratoga Library; and

hours of her time serving as the Volunteer Coordinator, enlisting, training and overseeing those
volunteers; and
WHEREAS, she then joined the Saratoga Library Commission, where she served for 11
years; five of those years as Chair of the Library Commission; and

measure that funded the library expansion project; and

Library Expansion Committee; and

dedication to the library and the citizens of this community.
