Staff Shout Outs

Shout out to Meghan M. for going above and beyond, leading by example, and keeping it positive. I attended the Mini Golf event with my kids recently and was so impressed by Meghan and how she handled the event. The interest was very high and so families were in abundance! She kept her cool no matter how busy it got, kept it very positive despite a few patrons being a bit disgruntled at having to wait , and set boundaries with these same patrons in such a positive and empathetic (yet firm) way that it kept everything moving and ultimately kept all the patrons happy and able to enjoy the event. She really worked that situation like a pro. Man, she’s good at what she does! ! From Lindsay.

Shout out to Elizabeth W for exemplary customer service and keeping it positive. Elizabeth hosted her first program, Drive to Sing, to a fantastic showing of 50+ people! Not surprisingly, Elizabeth had the audience engaged and laughing with her natural ability to interact with a crowd and deliver an introductory speech. RPL is lucky to have EW! From Ally.

Shout out to Olivia for going above and beyond, coming up with a new idea, helping a co-worker, leading by example, solving a problem and keeping it positive. For the amazing, inspiring, funny, and adorable videos you created for our staff meeting! From Cate and all your other admiring fans.

Shout out to Jocelyn for coming up with a new idea and keeping it positive. Jocelyn’s trivia night was so fun! The questions were a good mix of general knowledge (thank you, Justin!), the people there were a great group (competitive & friendly) and the picture round was very cool – our team might have gotten a perfect score on that one. AND there was a table of 20-somethings who had never come to the library before, but they will definitely be coming back. We can’t wait for the Pokemon/Star Wars edition. Great job, Jocelyn! From Team Zickhaus (Valerie, Andrea and Desiree)–editor’s note: they came in 2nd but only because the other team had more people.
