- Alluded to a conviction in my last interview about how proud I am of the work we are doing at FRL. We offer some of the most innovative, exciting library programming at FRL that I have ever been a part of in my career and that is a testament to our team. Our community often comments I had no idea the public library offered these types of events and programs… This photo demonstrates the carnage our library programs leave behind
- Library as Destination Place – built up a community expectation for excellence, raised awareness of FRL and PLCMC – how many events are people willing to stand outside in late December?
- Wayne – Vietnam Veteran story
- Patrice Ebert and her Unified Services team came out to FRL on Tuesday of last week and she publicly complimented FRL before the whole team, specifically Jurhandi Pendergrass, a library assistant in our Circulation Dept. Immediately following the meeting I told J in front of his supervisor that someone paid him a huge compliment today in our meeting. I recounted Patrice’s experience at FRL the previous Saturday and her observation of J modeling the Unified Services approach to a customer by being able to answer a reference question on the spot at the Circulation Desk. J glowed and smiled because he was so proud that someone from library administration recognized his hard work and acknowledged his contribution in front of other PLCMC staff. It was a priceless moment and I happy to report FRL has had numerous such moments this past year. I always make a point to share with my staff the testimonials and nice emails from our customers EVERY chance I get. Celebrate our success – Testimonials - communication with staff about the importance of their role (Tell story about Jurhandi & Patrice) Foster sense of community at library by acknowledging the community’s role in achieving our vision Celebrate accomplishments of the library staff – individual and team success in reaching our collective goals blog / Flickr – share stories with all branch staff potlucks staff meetings sharing testimonials from happy customers, partners, etc. rewards & recognition nomination for library awards letters of recommendation for training opportunities, promotions, etc.
- Convey my experiences as model In summary I would draw upon my cumulative 15 year career working in 3 stellar public libraries to successfully implement my vision for library service to the town of Matthews - Demonstrated track record of success
