Branch Manager
Hi, I'm Shelby Graam Pavan, Branch Manager for West Perry. I love reading horror and graphic novels, especially when the two are combined! One of my favorite books is Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado, and my favorite author is Grady Hendrix. I hope you’ll visit our location soon. For questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. We are always happy to help!
