She's a 'Friend of the Year;' Here's Why

Meet Chris Wilder, one of the driving forces behind the popular Used Book Sales at the library.

The Friends of the Rochester Hills Public Library have named Chris Wilder of Rochester Hills as the 2012 Friend of the Year.

According to a news release submitted by the Friends group, Wilder is a lifetime Friends member who is active with the library's popular Used Book Sales (she chairs the busy Friday morning shift of the sales and the online aspect of the sales, too).

Through Wilder's efforts, the Friends’ online sales this year so far amount to just under $15,000.
