 November 27, 2015 - Published Every Friday
 
During the two-county library merger week of December 2 - 9, 
You Must Bring Your Library Card To Check Out Items
The Bad: 
The online catalog (and your library account) will not be available at home or in the library. That means no searches, placing holds, or renewing items until sometime Thursday, December 10.
The Good: 
The Waukesha and Jefferson County libraries are merging to form the Bridges Library Systems. This means 500,000 more items to choose from.
The In-between: 
The Delafield Public Library will be closed Thursday, December 3 for staff inservice. Other than December 3, the library will be open to serve you December 2 through 9. But, please remember your library card. Thank you for your patience.

Education: Bachelor of Arts in English, Teaching Certificate University of Maine-Orono; Master of Arts in Library Science, University of Maine-Orono
Job Duties: I maintain the children's collection, order new materials, and plan programming. Hosting school groups, storytimes, school outreach, and book displays (READBOX is my favorite) are all parts of my job. I love to recommend books to children and their caregivers, especially to our youngest patrons (under 5 years) to encourage early literacy.  
Favorite Thing To Do At 
Work:
To match the perfect book with a young reader.
The One Book You Have Reread The Most: The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
Personal: I was married to my husband Dennis for 41 years, and he passed away this summer. I have two wonderful 
daughters, Emma and Chloe. I'm thinking I need a cat. 
Full or Part Time: Part time (ish); more hours in summer
Favorite Quote: "Mischief Managed!" ~Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
