Recognizing Excellent Staff

I love my job. And I enjoy the people I work with. Their energy and enthusiasm keeps all of us "teamed" in a successful way.

Recently, we lauded all staff and noted those who reached key milestones in their educational life. It is amazing what growth comes from taking a simple class or program, and what synergy it can create. There is some amazing energy that filters among class participants. Our library has been lucky in that our staff brings that positive synergy back to their daily jobs. They listen, network, make suggestions, and point out programs or ideas they gather. New ideas come forward and we all learn a little more and benefit, as does the community.

Thank you Homer Library Staff
Staff step up on a daily basis to do their best for our community. Each person who enters our building gets that personal interest and customer service touch. I read a quote that simply stated: "Walk in our door, and you are our friend." That really applies here at the Homer Library. And it is due to an exceptional staff who simply, "get it!"

Synergy
Synergy is the Illinois State Library Leadership Program. This innovative year long program (I am a 2005 graduate!) offers a truly wonderful learning experience. It is life-changing.

Congratulations to Sara for attending and expanding her knowledge base. She is a true leader!
