GB's Special Summer Helper

GB Manager Jackie Spiritas and staff, as many other branches, regretted to see their summer helpers depart , July 25, and thew a party or a luncheon. Jackie said, "Graham Branch staff said 'thank you' and farewell to Summer Worker Zahria Singletary at a luncheon prepared by staff on the day before she left.  Zahria was very helpful keeping things running smoothly during the busy summer activities at the branch. She worked on the Reserve list each morning and unpacked
 
delivery.   Zahria is seen here as she trapped holds, which she did under the tutelage of other staff. In her 'spare time' she helped Children’s Librarian Peggy Crawford during the Fizz Boom Read children’s programs held at the branch each week. She was tested and retested on her shelving knowledge by Chanika Kimbrough until she knew where everything was supposed to be shelved and had few errors. She attended and participated in the Teen programs and discovered her skill for Duct Tape crafts with Michelle Petrin. She also shelved untold numbers of DVDs each day. For her short time with Graham, Zahria made an impact with her bright smile and sunny attitude. When asked what she learned about working at the library she admitted that she never knew about the concept of Reserves and processing Holds. Working behind the scenes opened her eyes to all the work that the library staff does to keep the customers coming back for more. The Graham staff wishes Zahria the best of luck in her future endeavors."

JPL wants to add our best wishes to all our summer student helpers and thank them for all their help this summer of 2014.
