Employee of the Month for July 2010

Our Employee of the Month is Anne Moore! Anne once again ran a very successful Summer Reading Club and I'm proud to say that we continue to have a Children's program that's the envy of almost every library in the state -- and the biggest reason for that is Anne. Join me in congratulating her on the recognition and in thanking her for all the hard work she does!

Opportunity and Access: The Power of Today's Public Libraries

By Paul LeClerc - President, The New York Public Library

Anyone who hasn't been living on the far side of the moon knows and acknowledges that success today depends on information: access to it and the skills to exploit it.

And it's been recognized, at least since the time of Jefferson--who said that information is the currency of a democracy--that a more just society is founded on the notion that its people will have free access to information.
