On July 1st, we had a celebration called "
Joanne Day". We recognized Joanne Fitzpatrick for her 20 years of service to our library. Joanne has worn many hats while she's been employed here. She is the Technical Services Coordinator. That means she orders the materials, adds them to the computerized catalog and then gets them ready for the shelf. Joanne was recognized by the Library Board at their July Meeting.
Celeste Rudman was also recognized at the July meeting of the Library Board for 10 years of service. Celeste has worked in Youth Services and Circulation. She is currently the Circulation Services Manager. She oversees the Assistants that check items in and out, overdue notices, magazines and the Library Pages, who put the books and other materials back on the shelf.
Mary Hammen was recognized at the October Library Board meeting for 10 years of service. Mary also has worn different hats during her tenure. She too has worked in Youth Services. Mary has also worked in reference. She is currently in the position of Library Assistant. Mary works at the reference desk, assists with programs for adults and she also assists Joanne in the technical services deparment, preparing materials for the shelves and repairing items.
Thank you to all of these ladies for their years of dedication to our patrons and to their colleagues. Our hats are off to you!
