Shout out to The Children’s Team for going above and beyond, coming up with a new idea. We rocked the March Newbery Madness brackets in the Children’s Room and on social! It was a tourney full of favorites, fiction, and some flat-out surprises—16 Newbery-winning books competed for the best Newbery of the past 100 years. Megan came up with the idea, Olivia created all the graphics and the posts AND counted the votes, Ashley troubleshot the in-person voting, and the rest of us talked up the books. If you want to know what title won, you have to visit the Children’s Room! From Cate.

Shout out to Everyone who donated cans to Melissa’s crafty cause for helping a co-worker. With your help, I have all the cans I need with plenty of time to make a sample windchime! From Melissa.

Shout out to Melissa, Andrea H., Valerie, Judy T, Desiree, and Lauren for going above and beyond, and coming up with a new idea. This inspired group developed a fun idea – reading tournament/brackets/March Madness/March Hare and turned it into a stunning lobby display (Alice in Wonderland themed). And, when the opportunity arose, participated with other libraries in a 6-town reading tournament – Minute Madness! Extra kudos to those working on interesting & attractive displays in the lobby, the delicious food/cooking-themed one on Express shelves, and throughout the library. From a fan.

Shout out to Louise for going above and beyond and for exemplary customer service. Louise went racing down the stairs and into the parking lot to give back a photograph to a patron who had been using it as a bookmark. That’s going above and beyond the call of Borrower’s Service duty!! From anonymous.

Shout out to Susan B. for going above and beyond and helping a co-worker. Shout out to Susan for always being willing to help her co-workers and for having every supply we could possibly need. From anonymous.
