Two Celebrate 30 Years of Service With Mayor Curry & Library Director

Erica Brown (above), Manager of the Main Library, and Stephanie Harley, Pablo Creek Region Library Clerical Supervisor, had the honor recently of receiving recognition and congratulations from Library Director Tim Rogers and Mayor Lenny Curry in the Mayor's office.  Erica and Stephanie received their 30 year gold pins and a letter of congratulations from the Mayor. 

Erica said, "I came to JPL in March 1988 as a Librarian in Periodicals at the old Main Library.  Prior to that, I worked in various academic and public libraries since 1978.

"I promoted to what was then called a Senior Librarian while I was in Periodicals and transferred to Mandarin.  Around 2001 while at Southeast, I was promoted again and sent back to old Main's Fine Arts and Recreation Department.  From Main, I went to San Marco, then Webb Wesconnett, back to Main and again to Southeast Branch  Now I am again at the Main Library for the fourth time."

Stephanie (above) reports, "JPL was my first job and I worked as a Library Page/Clerk (part-time).  Later, I was promoted to full-time Clerk I, then Clerk II, then Library Assistant and now my position is Library Clerical Supervisor.  The journey throughout these 30 years of my career has been GREAT!

"I’m married to a wonderful  man, Greston Padmore, and we have five children and four grand kids.  My favorite thing to do is cook and make sure everyone is all right and having a great time. I love and care about everyone."

CONGRATULATIONS, STEPHANIE AND ERICA, FROM ALL OF US and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE!
