BOLT Honors Friends Groups

The Board of Library Trustees passed a Resolution to honor each of JPL's Friends groups at their meeting, October 14, 2019. Director Tim Rogers (L) and Community Resource Manager Zoe Carr (2nd from left) joined Chair Ronnie King (R) to acknowledge all of the Friends groups. Representatives who were able to attend are pictured L/R: Mike Steve (FJPL), Ted Hornoi-Centerwall (Mandarin Friends), Judy Klein (Murray Hill Friends), Anthony Williams (Brentwood Friends), Ferlandis Green (Brentwood Friends), and Roxanne Henkle (Willowbranch Friends).

Chair King read the Resolution, which declares October 20-26, 2019, National Friends of the Library Week and lists the many accomplishments benefiting JPL that these groups have achieved: countless hours raising funds to finance programs, events, learning materials, computer technology, e-classrooms, software, staff training, digital access, leadership awards, preservation of historic collections, advocating for JPL with local and state officials, and much more. Our Friends groups were instrumental in securing vital funding for JPL: $200K from COJ during FY 2020 for security for four libraries; $500K for maintenance and improvements and an additional $200K for materials and $1M in capital allocated for the design of JPL's 22nd location, the Oceanway Branch Library!

Representatives of these Friends of the Library could not attend; however, we want to gratefully acknowledge them:

Beaches Branch
Olga L. Bradham and Etta L. Brooks (Northwest)
Dallas Graham
South Mandarin
Maxville

Those accomplishments deserve several exclamation marks!!!! The next time you see a Friends representative, please thank them for all they do for us.

A Thank You From Denise Thomas

To the JPL Family: I wish to thank each and every one of you for your caring responses during my time of need. For those who were not aware, time was needed for surgery and recovery from breast cancer. I want you to know that all donated leave, words of encouragement, random acts of kindness and those beautiful smiles are appreciated.

I am a breast cancer survivor as a result of God’s Grace and an early detection of the cancer. May I suggest that each of you, if you have not already done so, take time to schedule health screenings of any kind knowing that these can be lifesaving methods for you.

To God be the glory for the things he has done. I am now free of cancer and want to say again that I appreciate what you did for me. Not knowing who my time donors were, I am not able to give individual hugs; collectively to the JPL Family I say THANK YOU a million times over.

Denise Thomas, JPL’s Center for Adult Learning at Main.

MARILYN JORDAN SENDS THANKS TO STAFF WHO DONATED TIME FOR HER RECENTLY

SANTA AND KIDS AT MAIN

Main's Children’s departmemt had a jolly great time with Old Saint Nick this year. We handed out jingle bells, read a sleigh ride picture book and, of course, sang the Jingle Bells song. Next, resident elf, Carisia Rooney, took over and kept the line smiling as they waited to verify that indeed, Santa’s whiskers were real and so was his tummy! Afterward, Jonathan Sandbach held a bell-decorating class (complete with glitter) so the kids could take some of the holiday fun home with them.

MATTHEW TAYLOR, LIBRARIAN I, WITH MAIN LIBRARY 15 YEARS

DENISE THOMAS CELEBRATES 15 YEARS WITH JPL

Deputy Director Jennifer Giltrop (far left) gave Denise a congratulatory letter from Mayor Curry and her 15 year service pin. Denise is 2nd from left, then CAL Manager Katie Devanny, & Tammy Owens. We join with them in congratulating you, Denise.
