PENNSYLVANIA

libschoolDenise from public library in Pittsburgh, PA, is a Star because Denise was originally hired as a part time circulation clerk, but once her talent and customer service skills were realized, her library duties and responsibilities quickly grew. She is now a full time employee who is in charge of all adult programming, including several outreach programs servicing local assisted living facilities. She is our volunteer coordinator, and library page supervisor. She also manages our Books On Wheels delivery service to homebound patrons. Denise's love and commitment to library service inspired her to return to school, so in addition to her busy work schedule, she is now an on-line student at Clarion University pursuing her M.L.I.S. degree. She is devoted to our patrons, and is always searching for new and exciting ways of moving the library forward. She is universally loved and respected by her fellow staff members and patrons alike. Thanks to Paula for this nomination.

libschoolDesirae from an academic library in Williamsport, PA, is a Star because Desirae has started her Master's in Library Science while she is working full time at an academic library. She works in technical services but is an active participant in the Outreach Team and a note taker for a couple of committees. Thanks to Jenny for this nomination.

studentEric from an academic library in Beeville, TX, is a Star because he always helps with any computer problems we might have with a smile on his face and a willing attitude. Thanks to Naomi for this nomination.

Maria from an academic library in Texas, TX, is a Star because Maria Taylor is Senior Library Assistant, at the Northridge Library of Austin Community College. I appreciate Maria's strong sense of self, determination, and effective communications skills.  She is very comfortable with problem solving no matter how challenging.  In fact, she likes challenges and has the intellect and strength to affect change. She is determined to be excellent (the very best) at everything she does. She is a great team leader. She's a joy to work with. We love her. Thanks to Melinda for this nomination.
