This week, Tanya said that she “geeks” the library because: “The politeness of the coworkers, the quietness, the internet, and the resources.” I am so glad, Tanya! These are some of the things that make our library so very special. While some times of day are quieter than others, we love a bustling library too! Whether peaceful or lively, it is our patrons that help us fulfill our role in this great community. Thank you!
