2F Miles Riley
R President, Friends of the Dover Public Library
I Family
E My wife, Tiffany, and I live in Dover. We have a dog, Ramona, and
N two cats named Katy Cat and Osiris.
D
How long have you been a member of the Friends of Dover
Public Library?
P I have served as Friends' President since 2018. Before that, I was a
R member through at least nine open houses, two mystery theater
dinners, two capital campaigns, two library renovations, and have
O eaten no less than 500 cookies.
F
I What made you decide to join the Friends of Dover Public Library?
L Growing up, my parents brought me to the library nearly every week. My love for books,
music, art, and poetry wouldn’t have grown – I wouldn’t have grown! – without the Dover
E Public Library. I can’t imagine life without all the wonderful stories and songs our library
allowed me to explore. I’m not certain how one properly thanks a library, but joining the
Friends has given me an opportunity to give back and help ensure the things I feel are our
greatest treasures are available to everyone for many generations to come.
What do you like most about the library?
I find it remarkable and exciting that our library continues to reinvent itself. It’s not just books, over-sized
dictionaries, and card catalogs. There’s live music, movies, videos games, guest speakers, a bookstore, youth clubs,
trivia nights, free Internet access, history, castles, and dragons. Sometimes there’s even free cookies! Most recently,
the library has been able to help distribute COVID-19 home test kits. I’m convinced there is nothing the library
can’t be – and I like that the most.
What is your favorite genre?
This is where you really start to learn about people! If a book is compelling and sincere, then I’m going to find it
worth reading. When this question is asked, the first names that pop in my head are Vonnegut, Henry Miller,
Steinbeck, and (early) George Orwell. I almost always travel with a copy of Winter Stars by Larry Levis. The most
recent book I read was The Storyteller’s Nashville , by Tom T. Hall. If you can find it, I highly recommend it.
What do you do in your spare time?
These days, I truly cherish any time I get to spend time with my family and friends. A good mid-day nap with
something to read or a movie, my wife, a dog, and a couple cats seems pretty great to me.
What would people be surprised to know about you?
I have played blues/folk harmonica for about 10 years. Many of those years have been performing
alongside my great friend, Atom Lax, who makes me sound much better than I am.
