17 Years At Wauseon Public Library

   


We are in November--Thanksgiving, 2022 is about two weeks away. What a year of changes at the Wauseon Public Library. Our Children's Librarian retired on July 22, 2022, a new Children's Librarian was hired, and she started on September 6, 2022--Her name is Kenzie. Our director announced she was retiring--her last day was August 31, 2022--a search began for a replacement. I applied for the position and was interviewed for the position, but I did not get selected. Our board created a new position for me entitled "Head Librarian' this new position was presented to me at the end of October 2022, I accepted the position. This position is the board's appreciation to me for my years of employment to the library and the praise the board members have received out in public about me. I am so excited about this new chapter in my library career--our new director starts on November 21, 2022, I am looking forward to working with her and this wonderful new opportunity for me. This picture above is our staff dressed up for our annual Halloween Storytime we host for the little ones. Left to right is Sue, Connie (who left us know she is retiring, her last day is November 30, 2022--I am going to miss her, we have worked together for 15 years), Me, our new children's librarian, Kenzie, and our Fiscal officer, Lisa.

Memorial Day Has Came and Went

Memorial Day 2014 has came and gone already--soon this year will be half over. It has been a little while since I last posted on the blog--busy, busy. The family and I did not really do a whole lot for Memorial Day--we went to Raker cemetery and visited my Grandfather Baldwin's grave and popped into Fulton Manor and visited with Grandma Baldwin--she was glad to see us.  No big cookout, nothing planned. My boss got a wonderful idea at a meeting she attended the Wednesday after Memorial Day--we are creating an Adult Reading lounge at the library on the main floor--we have moved our Mystery Books and Large Print books into this created reading lounge for the summer--we have moved furniture around and it is coming together--the YA Books and our Cafe Tables have been moved over by the Public Computers--the teens sit at the computers and that move has went over pretty good with the teens--maybe we will see more of our YA books going out. Those of you who are in the Wauseon Area, stop

Extreme Heat Gone . . . For Now

The last week and better was extremely hot and unbearable.  Summer definitely stuck around for quite a few days all across the country.  Which also brought some devastating storms to the area and thousands of people without power in that heat . . . Not good.  According to the last update, most everyone in this area is supposed to have their power restored by 11:30 tonight (July 8).  We will see what updates are on the 11:00 news.

Summer is winding down

It has been an interesting summer to say the least . . . It was here and is just about gone already--time sure flies. Took a trip the the National Museum of the Great Lakes that is here in Toledo--near the Veteran's Memorial Skyway Bridge--that was an interesting day trip--we toured the museum and the cargo ship that is docked there. Here is my mom and I setting at the sign in front of the National Museum of the Great Lakes. The museum has many artifacts from the Great Lakes it is so interesting to walk through there looking at all the displays of the various artifacts pertaining all to the Great Lakes--there is even a display from the wreck of the Fitzgerald. Another display shows each of the great lakes (a view of them on a scale model without the water, which has the depths of each of the great lakes). There is a lighthouse display of the lighthouses along the great lakes--it was a very interesting trip, I did not know as much as I thought I did about our Great Lakes--I
