Keeping up with nearly 300 Mercer volunteers can be difficult for even the most meticulous person. For Mercer volunteer and retired librarian Anne Strommer, it’s second nature. As a librarian, Strommer organized hundreds of thousands of books over her career before becoming a Mercer volunteer 20 years ago. “My husband started volunteering in the gardens. After a couple weeks, I asked if they could use a librarian.” Strommer worked in Mercer’s research library for years until it was moved to Mercer's new research facility. "The library is organized and orderly, thanks to what she started years ago," said Volunteer Coordinator Jamie Hartwell.
