Star Archives: MA
Penelope from a library in Centerville, MA
is a Star because She makes the children’s and young adult rooms amazing places for people of all ages. She celebrates the current interests of the community, but most of all she creates community and connections between people of all ages. Our family would not feel so tied to Centerville if it weren’t for "Miss Penny"!! Thanks to Jessica for this nomination.
Fran from a library in Eastham, MA
is a Star because she embodies the true spirit of a Children’s Librarian. Fran is so smart, whimsical & a terrific listener–our children adore her. She creates an attractive, stimulating & FUN environment which fosters reading & play at the library. We are so lucky to have her @ EPL! Thanks to Julie Allen for this nomination.
Emily from a library in Harwich, MA
is a Star because The children’s area at Brooks Free Library is well organized and kid friendly. Elementary public school students get off the bus at Brooks Free Library and have access to specific areas for homework or computer games. Both the elementary and older kids are respectful of the other library patrons. The picture books line the walls of the children’s room so little kids can play in the middle while moms look for books with an unobstructed view of their offspring. Special programs are frequent and engaging. The bulletin boards are organized and helpful. I don’t know Emily personally but she is always cheerful and helpful. My son and I visit a variety of different libraries on Cape Cod (Sturgis in Barnstable, Eldredge in Chatham, and South Yarmouth, mostly) I would give a nod to all of the librarians at these libraries but I don’t know their names. Thanks to Margie for this nomination.
Anita from a library in Mendon, MA
is a Star because Anita is a star because she keeps the library up-to-date with technology and makes it a fun, rlaxd place to hang out. She also engages her students in meaningful activities AND gets me books and videos whenever I need them! Thanks to Alice for this nomination.
Jackie from a library in Taunton, MA
is a Star because Jackie is our middle school librarian. Jackie is helpful to everyone, teachers, students, administrators, always going above and beyond. She encourages students to read, helps reluctant readers find books that they will find interesting and at an enjoyable reading level and assists teachers in setting up special book shelves for projects. Jackie is just amazing and she does it all with a smile!
