Shout out to Olivia and Cate. for going above and beyond. Cate and Olivia refreshed our Pride Sidewalk – hard work, positive attitude, and it looks so great! From anonymous. A huge, ginormous, humongous, gigantor thank you to the Borrower Services team for making the first two weeks of summer easier for us in Children’s. They took on user account issues, sign-ups, and check-ins. We were slammed with people the first week, and it was really nice to have people utilize the smart and capable BS department since they know their way around user accounts much more accurately than we do! Thank you all for your patience, time, and courtesy for doing that even when I know you are all just as busy. You’re the best! From Olivia. Shout out to Dina for going above and beyond and exemplary customer service. Dina’s first Summer Reading has been quite eventful, and she’s handled it with grace and the utmost empathy! She’s amazing with caregivers and calming down situations at the moment. Shout out to her for telling an adult to take a minute to breathe and remind them that the summer reading program is supposed to be fun and most importantly, optional.! From Olivia. Shout out to Andrea Hogan for going above and beyond, coming up with a new idea, leading by example, and keeping it positive. Love to see the flourishing pollinator garden carefully tended by Andrea Hogan. Andrea is walking the talk supporting native plants and the larger goal of sustainability. Way to go! Anonymous. Shout out to Cate for going above and beyond and coming up with a new idea. Cate has been amazing this summer at making sure kids know to take their time with reading and doing the program; her patience, calm under pressure, and ability to move in and out of the hoards of kids and caregivers are unmatched. Running a program while a child is having a meltdown and taking the focus away from the room is not an easy task, but she did it flawlessly. We are very lucky to have her, and I am thankful for all that she does! From Olivia.
