Remembering Robin Weseen

Robin Weseen was more than just a librarian – she was an incredible grandmother, mother, sister, daughter, friend and guardian of imagination, a curator of dreams, and a champion for the children she welcomed to her library. Her passion for connecting young minds with the magic of books touched countless lives.

Created by her family, The Robin's Nest Project ensures that Robin's legacy lives on through cozy reading spaces that inspire the next generation of readers and dreamers.
