Consider the Library
Ryan Huffman - Computer Systems Director
Working at the library has changed the way I think about libraries as community pillar institutions. I never thought libraries were useless or unnecessary but I often failed to consider the idea that they could be useful to me. Being at a library five days a week and aiding in the library’s mission has certainly made it easier to see the possibilities but if I could offer that wisdom to others in a concise way, I would say “consider the library”.

Volunteers: Hats Off (But Pants On!) For All You Do!
April 20-26 is National Volunteer Appreciation Week! Here at the library, we try to show our gratitude
year-round, but this week gives us an extra special excuse to sing your praises. Now, I was brainstorming
ways to express just how much you all mean to us, and my mind, as it sometimes does after a long day
of coordinating, led me down the rabbit hole of the wonderfully weird world of national awareness
days. Stay with me here…
