Job Well Done: Mandy Elliott

Teen Library Associate Mandy Elliott received a Job Well Done Award, February 1, 2017. PCR Branch Manager said, "She created an innovative Graphic Novel and Manga aisle that is more attractive to customers than the usual shelving arrangement. Mandy's idea to use a combination of magazine shelving and traditional shelving to create an orderly mash-up of material appeals to teens' sense of dis(order) and acts as a divider between Teen Fiction and Adult Fiction. After approval, she shifted and rearranged the whole aisle in a matter of hours. Mandy is ordering new material to keep the collection fresh and can be counted on to give expert Reader’s Advisory service to teens on the genre. The Aisle 5 project was reviewed and approved by Deputy Director Jennifer Giltrop who visited the branch and was pleased with the effort. The staff is proud of Mandy and is inspired that she has vision and is so enthusiastic about her work."
