Diane Decker still remembers a special story, fifty years or so later. Her second-grade teacher was young, beautiful, stylish, and very enthusiastic about reading. Diane’s mom decided it was time to start taking her children to the library, and Diane found it magical, all those books and twin spiral staircases to the balcony. She chose Hillsborough as her retirement home after spending her last sixteen years of employment at Duke Divinity School. A real selling point of her empty lot was that it was only six blocks to Orange County Public Library. To Diane, it is a privilege and a pleasure to give back to the community by serving on the board of the Friends.
