Dear Friends,

 

April is a special month for me because it marks the twelfth anniversary of  my employment here. I'll never forget how during the first few minutes of my first day of work I found myself, as an emergency stand-in, wearing a full bunny suit surrounded by enthralled toddlers in one of Miss Susan's pre-school classes. With obscured bunny-vision, I was slowly led into the community room in the costume. As I heard the sound of my breathing trapped in the rabbit head, I was immediately reminded of the scene in "The Graduate" where Dustin Hoffman's character fumbled in embarrassement toward the pool in his scuba gear. Not unlike this film character, I remember wondering, "Is this where my Master's Degree has lead me?" Since that day I learned that at Marlboro, the staff pulls together and often works across job descriptions to make the public's experience enjoyable. I also learned that one day is never like another at the Marlboro Library, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
