Araby Leary

I grew up in New Jersey near New York City, then headed to the Midwest for my undergraduate years at Northwestern. Following several years in Washington, DC, I moved to the Bay Area, where I earned a master’s degree from Stanford and raised my daughter. From the 1970s onward, I built a diverse career—starting at a paper company in San Francisco and moving into magazine management across both coasts, with my longest and most fulfilling time at Sunset. I also worked for a digital library, a book company, and in direct mail marketing, holding 10 roles across seven companies and relocating 17 times along the way.

About a decade ago, I retired and made my final move to Park City to be closer to my daughter and her family, including my two teenage grandsons, who fully embrace Utah’s winter sports and mountain biking. Before COVID, I worked at Deer Valley and became deeply involved with Park City Newcomers, eventually serving as president—a role that brought lasting friendships and meaningful volunteer opportunities. Today, I’m proud to contribute as a board member of the Friends of the Summit County Library.  I’m grateful to be part of such a dedicated community.

Tracy Lehfeldt

My mother passed on her lifelong love of reading and libraries to me. We still exchange book recommendations and make frequent use of our local libraries. So it is an honor for me to serve on the Summit County Friends of the Library Board and give back a little to an institution I have appreciated from my earliest memories.

Libraries enrich communities and enrich and educate the lives of those who use them, and I am grateful to have access to wonderful libraries in every community in which I have lived. In addition to reading I love hiking, skiing, and making art and have been a full-time resident of Summit County for the past 5 years.

Mel Rockhil

My name is Melanie Rockhill.  As a long-time Park City local and native Utahn, giving back to my community has always been important to me.  After retiring from my insurance practice and raising my three daughters, I finally found the time to do just that!  As an avid reader — even more so since retiring — joining the Friends of the Library has been the perfect way to fulfill that goal.

When I’m not lost in a good book, you can find me on the tennis court, cross-country skiing, spending time with my grandchildren, or tending to my property in Woodland. I joined the Friends of the Library two years ago as part of the Community Engagement team.  

Happy reading!
