Amanda, along with her husband, PJ, and their son, Ben, live in Mason.  They have two dogs – Persey, and Maverick and one cat – Marshmallow.  Amanda was an elementary educator for 24 years before coming to the Forest Lodge Library to become the Executive Director at the Forest Lodge Library in January 2024.  She loves being outside and enjoys the solitude of their rural Mason home.

She enjoys singing and has been a member of a variety of different choral groups in the Chequamegon area.  She also enjoys cooking and baking and is always looking for new recipes to try.  She has really enjoyed working with the Cookbook Club program that she started at the library.

She is excited to serve the communities of Cable and Namakagon and looks forward to spreading her love of reading to all ages in the community.  She most enjoys reading mysteries, historic fiction and children’s books.

My name is Angelina Castellano and I am from Drummond Wisconsin. I graduated in 2022 from Drummond High School and previously worked at Hunter’s General Store. I enjoy nature walks, spending time with friends and family, and going to the movies! I also really enjoy singing and performing, and I’ve been participating in local and community theater steadily since 2017. Book genres I enjoy are thrillers, mystery, romance, and poetry.
