SCLS Foundation’s Cornerstone Award Reception is Nov. 8
The 2012 SCLS Foundation Cornerstone Award Reception will be held Nov. 8 at Fitchburg Public Library, 5530 Lacy Road. This year’s honoree is Barbara Dimick, former director of Madison Public Library.
"This is the Foundation's fourth annual award, which honors people who have made significant contributions to the improvement of library service in their own communities, throughout the South Central Library System, and statewide," said Trish Frankland, foundation board president.
The reception, which runs from 5:30-7 p.m., is open to everyone. There is no cost to attend, and no need to RSVP. Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
Amy Gannaway, SCLS Cataloging & PAC Technology Specialist, gave birth to a son, Tobin Gannaway Broker, on Oct. 15. He was 7 lbs. 10 oz., and 20 inches long. Mother and baby are doing great. Congratulations Amy!
Janis Merkle, after 3.5 years as Assistant Director of the New Glarus Public Library, is leaving for a position at Mount Horeb Public Library. “We are sorry to see Janis leave but know she will do well with whatever she takes on,” said Maggie Waggoner, director. “We are happy that she will still be working within the SCLS and we wish her all the best.”
