Anonymous Patron writes The Reno Gazette Journal has a report on Julie Machado. With a bubbly, extroverted personality, Machado has been program manager for the Northwest Reno Library since it opened seven years ago on Robb Drive.

But like many a character in the mystery novels she loves to read, this librarian by day leads a double life.
