Sara Radovic & Mia Clark: Job Well Done!

Librarian IIs’ Sara Radovic and Mia Clark were awarded Job Well Done awards for the National Coloring Book Day program held in the Jax Makerspace at Main, August 2.  Librarian III Tamera Branam, who nominated Sara and Mia, said, "The program came together in a little over a week’s time thanks to teamwork, innovation and excellence.  Sara and Mia coordinated with all the different departments of Main and other regional libraries to collect coloring supplies, find tables, create advertising and spread the word among staff and customers. They even had staff from outside the urban core help cover the program.   Sara and Mia had the bottom floor transformed with tables, coloring accessories, floor stickers and coloring pages while coloring customers were serenaded by softly playing background music.   The end result of their hard work was a fun program for all ages, children to adult, which allowed participants to be creative and color!   101 attended the program!  The ladies were a positive influence on customers and staff, and followed through on their commitment to provide a high quality program that was fresh and inventive.  The fact that they pulled together this successful program on such short notice is an astounding feat that shows all of the JPL Core Values at work!"
