In 2020, MLS approved a new set of core values for the organization. They include Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Innovation; Integrity; People First; and Respect. Now it is time for us an organization to put the core values into action.
Denyvetta introduced and welcomed Aaron Bluitt, who began his new role as Assistant Director of Library Operations on Monday, November 12, 2012. The managers introduced themselves to Aaron and shared with him the location they manage; their years of service with MLS; their strengths and center. Aaron briefly shared his background with the managers and expressed that it is a blessing and privilege to be a part of Metropolitan Library System.
The managers visited Luther Library and met Extension Specialists, Angie Paeltz and Dennis Delano. Angie extended a warm welcome to everyone and shared information regarding the Luther Library before leading the managers to Luther High School Auditorium where the managers’ meeting was held.
The managers arrived at Luther High School where they were given a tour of the Auditorium and control room before the meeting.
Michael Connelly, best-selling author of The Fifth Witness, calls libraries “a societal tent pole. There are lots of ideas under it. Knock out the pole and the tent comes down.”
The tent is a little shaky. At least for now, it’s still standing.
