Thanks for Your Dedication to a City in Crisis!

This week's Bright Spot Award is shared by all of you who have stepped up to provide service at Simmons and Uptown during these challenging times! Lots of libraries talk about their commitment to neighborhoods in crisis, to serving people experiencing homelessness, to kids falling behind in school, to keeping libraries open in hard times. You didn't just talk, you showed up

To dedicated branch staff Kathy Duba, Diane Smith, Ed Godula, Michaela Beltran, Phillip Kuszel, Claudia Dahl, Linda Hinderliter, Bennett Schuner, Patty Bajabir and Erin Mendoza who bravely opened the doors days after the destruction in the Uptown neighborhood and the nightly unrest downtown.

To Zander Miller, Janice Rovik, Elkid Alvarez, and Vicki Zielsdorf for pitching in where needed, and all the YFS staff who staffed the children's room. To Frankie for his outstanding cleaning and Jeff for keeping the buildings in great shape.

THANK YOU! 

You make us proud! You make a difference to people in need! You change people's lives for the better! 

Thank you for your dedication to public service and the ideals of the library profession.
