Library Champion - Todd Podzemny
Date Awarded:
September 04, 2014
Position:
Manager of Library Operations
Location:
Choctaw Library
A Library Champion Because:
"If you've been around Todd for more than a minute, you'll realize "there's something about this guy." Not in a "kicked by a mule" kind of way but in a "does this guy ever provide anything less than great customer service to internal and external customers at all times?!?" kind of way. And I expect him to act like any good champion and tote this trophy to all the bars around town, which in Choctaw, I think, is a total of 4. Todd, may your reign as MLS Champion be a glorious one. It's certainly well-deserved." - Tim Spindle

Congratulations, Todd. Well deserved. Fantastic and intense photo!
Glad to have you as part of the MLO Team!
Is it wrong that I want Todd to quit his job at MLS to become a full time blogger/tweeter/writer? I mean, he provides awesome customer service and leadership here in our midst, but it's just that I want to read what he's thinking on all subjects all the time. Maybe if we could create a job for him where he is our chief correspondent on all matters, then I'm sure that I would not only read my e-mails more thoroughly, but I would enjoy them more thoroughly. So, in summary: 1) well deserved honor, 2) please quit your job.
Our Todd is an awesome Todd. Congrats sir!
Todd is so awesome that they created a new word in the dictionary to describe him. Toddsome is a level of awesome that exceeds all other levels, so he is of course the only one who can attain the level of Toddsome. We can all stop trying so hard, he has set the bar. And that is why he is so Jedi.
Well deserved Todd :)
Congrats, Todd! What makes Todd so "Toddsome" (as Jennifer J. put it) is not only the excellent customer service he provides to everyone, but also the subtle and unique humor he exudes in any given situation.
Todd,
I had never had the awesome experience of really meeting you. You were fantastic with the Catalog training for the new conversion. You have a wonderful sense of humor, are very knowledgeable and very friendly and helpful. Thanks for all your hard work.
No way does Todd follow the way of the Sith. He is most definitely a Jedi. The green color of his lightsaber gives it away. The force is strong with this one.
Congrats, Todd the Great!
At least once a day I have to stop what I'm doing and channel my "inner Todd" voice of calm, sensible greatness... it really helps me deal with even the biggest library drama! Congratulations Todd... you are so deserving of this award!!
May the force be with you always.
Well deserved!!
I am so glad to see you with the library champion trophy/light saber! You really are deserving - not only have you worked hard and been an asset to the entire system in many ways but you do so with imagination, a great attitude, and a sense of humor. Happy I am that you came to us!
...Todd is the greatest! A calm and thoughtful leader, and one of the very funniest people I know. I agree with Amy's plea that he start a blog, but we also need him to stay here at MLS forever. :)
What they said ^ ! Always enjoy interacting with you and experiencing your wit and humor. Plus, you've always got great information to share and are willing to go the extra mile for your coworkers. Congrats!
