A Library Champion Because:
"Chris is a great co-worker to have. No matter what is going on, how busy work is, how crazed he feels, he always is ready and willing to help anybody. As a PCS, Chris was always helping out with every aspect of working at the library, I never heard him utter the words “It’s not my job”. Chris also has an amazingly creative brain, one I’m sure scientists will INSIST to study. Chris has so many wonderful talents that he shares with MLS. Chris is not just an MLS Champion, but an overall great person to be around. " - Mary Sholly

I've known Chris since his first day at MLS and through all the years, through ups and downs, through hard times and good, he has always been upbeat, positive and dedicated to doing his best for all the people in the library. He exceeded his duties as a part time computer tech so well that he was the first ever made full time. He spent as much time helping all the MLS offices with their tech and A/V needs as he did helping educate Downtown's staff adapt to the ever changing technical world of a modern library system. He worked himself to near heat-exhaustion each year making Beef and Buns a much-anticipated treat for everyone at 300 Park. Now, he uses his skills with graphics to help Rick create that special MLS look, as well as creating an AWESOME champions pic!
Thank you, Chris, for all you do, for all of us!
Chris is an awesome graphic designer and such an asset to our library system! Every piece of marketing he has done for ED's teen programming has been AWESOME! Yay Chris!
Even before I worked in the same office as Chris, I could tell he was awesome. He had this way of making you feel comfortable when you had to do something nerve racking, like make a video or be photographed. He always has positive things to say, and is more creative and talented than any one person should be! Since becoming his office neighbor, he has gone out his way to very patiently (he is seriously patient!) teach me new things and share his knowledge and talents. Chris is a gentleman, a kind soul, and just an all around wonderful guy. Good choice Mary :)
Congratulations Chris! You deserve it! One more feather in your cap :)
I See Your Schwartz Is as Big as Mine!!
...corroborate all of the remarks previously posted. The covers of Info Magazine are nearly as iconic as New Yorker magazine. I'm looking forward to watching how the Valentine cover baby grows up.
Nothing more to add other than, "Thanks, Chris."
Absolutely love all the poster designs that Chris does for the Del City library. Thank you for all your hard and awesome work!! Well deserved!!!
Your artwork is awesome!
You are definitely worthy of this honor.
To infinity and beyond!
I too have seen the many talents of Chris and his generosity in sharing them. He truly gives that "good customer service". He has worked hard and has developed many skills and the library is benefiting from them. Hope the best for him in all his endeavors. Yeah Chris!!!!!
Chris goes the plaid for the library all the time. Whether it's completing a super awesome marketing request or assisting with other committee duties, Chris is awesome!

Thanks for all of your creative awesomeness Chris!
Fabulous champions pic, simply fabulous!
You've accomplished what many have strived years or at least from when they started this Champion thing, to achieve and all it took was the current Champion randomly nominating you!
Just kidding!
Maybe.
You do deserve it though, because you are always willing to help, even when it involves a bunch of Twilight reading teens at a lock-in!
You're the best! Congrats!
I still haven't watched that Lost Skeleton of Cadavra dvd of yours...but I will real soon...honest!
You know, the second sequel is coming out soon. So you'll have "The Lost Skeleton Returns Again" and "The Lost Skeleton Walks Among Us" to look forward to seeing afterwards! :D
Metro's got talent, and you are it! (Also, you have mad zombie skilz.) Congrats, you have always been a winner in my eyes.
=)
I should have had you do my pic!! Awesome job!
According to dictionary.com...topflight, out of this world, illustrious, & out of sight!
According to me...Chris Larwig!
Congrats!
I am proud to say that I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.
What's that make us?
Absolutely nothing! But we are very lucky to have you !
Your dedication and above and beyond customer service both internally and externally are amazing and much appreciated! My pictures in thirds are a testament to your knowledge and teaching skills! Thanks for all you do and who you are!
