Job Well Done: Martha Smith, Jay Brasfield & Margaret Morford

Martha Smith, Jay Brasfield and Margaret Morford received Job Well Done awards, December 5, 2016.  Beth Friederich said, "Recently, Main Children’s began offering schools the option for a complete Main library tour. The Special Collections team located resources that highlight their collections and excite the children.  Jay introduced me to the oldest map in the room and some with fun features that children would find interesting.  Martha pulled books from the collection, such as the Sanborn maps that show Jacksonville’s streets before the current Main Library was built. Margaret gave me a tour of the department to further my understanding of the resources.  All of their input enables me to answer students' questions.

"Additionally, when these wonderful librarians are on the desk, they introduce themselves and present the department to the students and have been available to answer questions."
