Marjorie Kasch

Marjorie Kasch is a writer and visual artist who has lived in Lexington since 2005. Marjorie has a Bachelor’s Degree in Russian and Slavic Studies from Harvard University. Trained in Russian and French literature, she worked as a journalist and opinion columnist before turning to symbolist poetry and collage. Marjorie is an insatiable reader, and believes that the public library is an indispensable resource in our community, particularly for children and others just discovering the joys of reading and the wider cultural world. Her particular reading interests are psychology, poetry, biography, spirituality, art, music, and the novel – but she’ll read just about anything! She’s also particularly interested in architecture, Rockbridge County’s natural beauty, and the local music scene. Her two children, now 13 and 15, have been regulars at the library since they were 3 and 5.
