I have long considered Tonya a mentor and a role model for Latina young women everywhere, and I don't even think she knows it or would admit it. She always represents the library with such passion, even when she's not working. I believe she turned our library into a place where us Latinos and urban community members finally feel welcomed and many of my family and friends feel the same. When she came to work at the library, us Latinos noticed change! She started a campaign to make our community feel welcomed in the library with a new World Languages area that we use all the time, ESL classes that are always filled and that have wonderful teachers, a new literacy classroom and a library that now reflects the urban community. Tonya is a compassionate, empowered, genuine person, who's love for urban libraries is always apparent.

She recently created the Virtual Career Center for us to find jobs during these hard economic times and and let us know that the Virtual Career Center template will soon be made available as a template for all NJ Public Libraries on the New Jersey State Library website! Good for her and for our library. She is my mentor and I really hope she gets recognized because she works so hard and is such a strong leader for libraries! Outside of the library, she stands up for urban youth. Her dedication to the community is inspirational and she has run a nonprofit for our youth for over seven years, opening up her home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to urban youth to prevent youth violence and to encourage youth to take responsiblity for their future. We're lucky to have her, and so is the city and our library. Thanks to Danielle for this nomination.

William from a public library in Rio Rancho, NM, is a Star because Bill Cicola is one of those classic, hard-working, no nonsense, directors who sacrifices himself for his library.

Mr. Cicola is loved by everyone, staff and patrons alike. His knowledge of library science is profound, to the point that we are always enriched by him, both through his words and actions. We look forward to coming to work knowing that Mr. Cicola will always have something new and exciting for us to do or think about each day. For those of us in gradutae library studies, Mr. Cicola is an alternate professor, walking encyclopedia, mentor, even a father figure whose wisdom has been a constant source of security. Mr. Cicola has rare intellectual and spiritual virtues, including charity toward the needy and a charming, affable nature. Mr. Cicola is the greatest and most effective advocate we have at City Hall, yet another institution he is slowly but surely transforming in our favor due to the widespread respect he enjoys from managers and councilmen alike. I think that I can say that one of the most important experiences of my life--and I have had many--has been the privilege, if not the grace, of working with Bill Cicola. Therefore, may I please request that you award Mr. Cicola as he deserves. This is truly a library director of genius and humanity. Thanks to Joseph for this nomination.

Thanks to Thaddeus for this nomination.

has a variety of programs throughout the year. She polls the patrons about what would interest them and personally invites them to attend. She suggests books that she thinks would be of interest to the regular readers. You can tell she loves the library. Thanks to Sharon for this nomination.
Mari from a public library in Kings Mountain, NC, is a Star because she knows everything! I moved to Kings Mountain 2 yrs. ago and have been a regular patron of the Library at least twice a week. She has the answer to any question I have had and also the questions I have heard her being asked by others. She moves the front desk checkout quickly but with a friendly, positive attitude. She is also the person I ask for references to the dentist, hairdresser, etc. She has a good sense of humor which helps when you work with the public on a daily basis. She is just another reason that Mauney Memorial is such a great library. Thanks to Sharon for this nomination.
