Librarian
Location:
Northwest Library
A Library Champion Because:
Julia
McConnell,
Poetess ornately-booted,
It’s time your horn was tooted.
You see others so bigly and kindly,
A model of what a professional ought to be.
Tho dubbed with double consonants in multitude,
You have an infectiously cheerful attitude.
I only wish when I was a library-junkie teen,
You’d been there for me
As Library Champeen.
-Buddy Johnson, 2014

Congrats Julia! Well deserved indeed!
Nice little poem too!
Great poem, great gal. Glad to have you as a colleague and friend, Julia, so that I may judge the contents of your Whole Foods cart. :) In all seriousness, though, we're lucky to have a library advocate like you in our system. You're awesome!
Congrats on a well deserved honor! Always a bright smile and friendly greeting.
Congratulations, lizard lady! Glad to work with you - and your boots.
