"Both ladies are shelvers in the children's department. Ruth Guyton is a top notch shelver who maintains children's nonfiction, adult biographies and African American genre sections. She keeps her sections neat and in order all the way from Dewey and author, up to the title. Ruth also artfully displays just the right title or series of titles on the shelves; she has a keen eye for marketing popular titles and shelf sittetrs.
"Barbara Fritz (2nd pic down) has worked at
Highlands since the 1990’s. She began when shelvers also worked at the
circulation desk; now she is primarily assigned to shelve in
children’s. Over the years Barbara began decorating the branch with
seasonal flowers and foliage, and she also has a talent for creating eye
catching displays. Barbara always incorporates books, non-print and
realia in her displays. Her 'For Dummies' display is always
extremely popular.
"Jan Linden (3rd pic down) was our third
recipient. Jan began working as a full time librarian with JPL back in
the late 1980’s. She worked in what was then known as the BSD
department (Business, Science and Documents). She has also 'done time' at
CW and a couple of other locations in the system. Now a part-time librarian
at Highlands, Jan uses her professional skills and knowledge to assist
customers at the reference desk, process new materials, assist with collection
development, and coordinate the New Leaf Book Club." activities.
"Our sincere gratitude to these
ladies for learning the job and sticking around to share-back all that
knowledge and experience. Thanks Barbara, Ruth and Jan."
