Much much deserved! Congratulations Dana! You are most definitely a library champion!
We appreciate everything you do Dana! Thank you for sharing your Deepak CDs with me. They are a prized possession. All the best to you :)
Dana, thanks for all you have done to bring quality programming
to the library system. I was able to have the most marvelous
performers for our customers due to your hard work.
You certainly are a Library Champion!
Working with you, Dana, has been nothing but an inspiration and enjoyable. You have encouraged when needed, given information when needed, helped in every way when needed. Always provided that magical "good customer service". My hope is that your retirement brings you many years of great adventures.
When you first drove me over the library system to introduce me to the different libraries, I never thought I would have the privilege of working with you these nearly 19 years. I count it as one of the best things that has happened.
The energy and passion for connecting our customers to world around us...nobody does it better than Dana! I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I love this program!" or "I can't believe this person (or group) came to Midwest City!" Over and over our customers have danced, sung, cheered, and been in awe thanks to the influence and vision of Dana Marrow! Thanks for making the world a better place!
Thank you for being an excellent mentor to me for 14 years. Your enthusiasm for programming has never faltered or wavered. Your love and dedication to the arts has changed many lives! I am honored and blessed to know you. Thank you for enriching the lives of our library customers and the surrounding community!!
Congrats!!! You have always been so helpful at helping us with programs at Del City or getting me my fave thing gift books or as I call them the "lil chunky" books for the kiddos who come in to the library. I'm going to miss you bunches and I'm sure that MLS will too!! You deserve a happy and blessed retirement. Good Luck and please keep in touch!!
Thank you for everything you do for our community, Dana! You are an incredible library champion and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with you over the past year. Congratulations to you! :)
When I first came to the library system and met Dana I couldn't get over what a beautiful smile you have! Come to find out your insides are just as amazing! Thank you for who you are and choosing to use your influence for the benefit of those need a voice. You bring beauty, joy, experience and knowledge to those who cannot always get to a library in a way that changes lives. Thank you!
Dana,
You have done some amazing things for our system. The Neighborhood Arts program is phenomenal! I wish you the very best!
Congrats, Dana! :)
You have changed "Our World"!
Dana is not only one of my favorite library employees, but also a great role model! Totally deserved! :)
Always loved that smile!
Congrats,

How long ago was it that the selection committee asked me, "Why do you think you would be the best person for this (Outreach Director) job?" And I (perhaps unwisely, but truthfully) told them that maybe I wouldn't be best, that Dana would be great, too. Your success gives me faith in my judgment of character and talent. I am so proud of your accomplishments for MLS. Well done, Dana! Well done.
You are amazing for all the above reasons. Thank you for hiring me 25 years ago!
Yay Dana! It's so obvious that Dana is a champion! She has an outstanding team in Outreach, and treats them all like family. Her passion for her work is clear. Every time I talk to her, she is championing literacy, early childhood education, and access to arts. She is amazing!
Way to go Dana!!!
You are a GREAT Ambassadors for the library. Thank you for all you do.
I know this is late coming but Congratulations on your well deserved award. You have ALWAYS been a champion in my eyes. All the great programs you have helped provide for our area have been such a wonderful experience for so many people and your many years of dedication to MLS are to be commended. And then there's that big smile and infectious laugh!
Dana, you are one of a kind!
Dana,
This is also late coming to you..I have been out. I don't know what more I can say. All the comments shadow what I feel. You have always been so kind to myself and my husband when we attended as many of the programs as we could. Always so pleasant, inviting and made us laugh, sing, dance and wish the program could go on longer, encore for each one. Thanks so much for all your hard work and may you be blessed with a happy and prosperous retirement. I will miss you.
Why hide that beautiful smile? I appreciate Dana's positivity, enthusiasm and mentoring. She's always been a champ!
