Tale Of The Truck Spider

We first met Amy Thatcher more than a decade ago, when she called us to remove a colony of bees that had taken up residence in the facade of the Richmond Branch Library. And the rest, as they say, is history. Amy has been an enthusiastic beekeeper, our favorite librarian, and dear friend since.
If anyone deserves to be Citizen of the Week it's certainly Amy!
