In Memoriam

Within the last month the library has lost three very special women. These women have influenced library service and quality of life within our community and we would like to remember their impact here.

Alberta Margin was our dedicated former staff member and volunteer shelver for many years. She could always be counted on to put books back in their proper place. She was also a fiesty cat lover and world traveler. We discovered at her funeral that she and her sister traveled internationally quite often - loving every moment. She also enjoyed jigsaw puzzles and swapped them frequently with our staff. To read more about Alberta's life please visit this link.

Phyllis Rich was our dedicated circulation desk volunteer. She spent every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays with us. Phyllis has given the Library over 7,825 hours of service. She was always checking registration cards – over the years she probably sorted, filed and double-checked thousands of cards. She was usually all business, but occasionally a smile crossed her face and when it did - it was magic.

Arnetta Weaber was our technical services guru. With 20 years of experience covering books @ the library, she made it an art. As a staff member, she was always laughing and having a good time. She could be found most days working hard and listening to WLBR. Her sense of humor and spunk was legendary. To read Arnetta's online guestbook please visit this link.

Library Tattoo Day

Don’t believe everything you hear about librarians being mild mannered! Monday the 20th of July was Tattoo Day for library staff and volunteers. They allowed their creativity to shine through with temporary tattoos expressing their love of all things library. Some of these included Shakespearean quotes, “I Love the Dewey Decimal System”, and a particularly menacing flaming skull reminding all of us of the importance of returning library materials on time.

Chalk Mural Madness!

The sidewalks around the library have been beautifully decorated this week. Everyone showed their creativity and unique style. Come check out the chalk drawings before rain washes them away.
