Heidi Moyer
Heidi has worked at the library since October 2016. She has her B.A in history, with a minor in political science from Mount St. Mary’s University. She is originally from upstate NY. When not working at the library, she enjoys eating bacon cheeseburgers, traveling, hiking, spending time with her numerous nieces, nephews and family, Irish music, and of course reading a good book! Heidi lives with her husband Dominic and cat Ella.
Shaliqua Potteiger
Shaliqua Potteiger has been working at the library for almost two years. She was raised in Waynesboro PA and was home schooled up through high school. During high school she attended cosmetology at Franklin County Career Center and Technology and Hagerstown Community College for personal training. In her free time she likes to be with her family outdoors. She also enjoys listening to audio-books and reading to her two children.
Ann Duble
Ann started working at the Blue Ridge Summit Library over 13 years ago before coming to work Alexander Hamilton Memorial Free Library. She graduated from the University of Tulsa, Tulsa, Okla., with a BS in Journalism. Ann was married to two Vietnam Vets and moved every few years around the country and Germany. She retired from Fort Detrick, Md., prior to coming to work at the Libraries part time. She lives on the mountain in Cascade, Md., with three dogs (one Junie the Library dog) and one cat—all very spoiled. Ann likes to knit, crochet, quilt and belongs to a couple of blanket making groups. In warm weather, she spends a good bit of time in her large yard raking, mowing and some gardening, or reading on the porch with the dogs nearby. In the fall, she is parked in front of the TV watching college and professional football. Her teams are the Washington Redskins, the Oklahoma Sooners, and because she has grandchildren at Penn State, that too. A longtime advocate of nature and the outdoors, she abhors litter and is often seen picking up beer cans and other tossed trash along the beautiful mountain roads. Ann has two daughters and four grandchildren.
Junie B. Jones
Library dog Junie lives with Library Assistant Ann Duble. Ann adopted her from the Antietam Humane Shelter about three years ago. Former Library Director Lori Milach saw Junie at an event at the Y and wanted to adopt her, but was not able to. Ann visited Junie at the Shelter and adopted her. Not much is known about Junie’s history, but she does have a chip in her, so the staff knew she was 12 when adopted. She came to the Waynesboro Shelter from another shelter to give her a chance to find a forever home. Junie comes to the Library when Ann is working and lies under her desk. She has quite a following of children and adults who ask “where’s Junie?” if she isn’t “at work.” She hangs out with Pickles, Reese and Jojo at home.
