The Wheels of Change

Well, it's been a while since our last posting, and much has happened.

With the departure of Alison, there was a huge void here at the bookmobile that needed to be filled. I, for one, have a much greater appreciation for ALL that she did, as I am still learning all the aspects of my new position.

So, as we move forward, we have hired someone to help fill some very big shoes. Please welcome Gloria Lawler to the bookmobile. Some of you have already met Gloria, as she has worked a couple of Saturdays in the month of August. But her first official day was Monday, August 25th. Gloria came to us from South Fayette Public Library, where she served as the Library Director for the past five years. Prior to that Gloria was a a reference and instruction librarian at Saginaw State University, a youth services librarian with the West End Branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, and an elementary school librarian in Brentwood and Pittsburgh. With such varied experience and knowledge, Gloria is a huge asset to our operation. So, please, as you come out to the bookmobile, introduce yourself and say hi to Gloria. She will be working all our community stops (Wall/Wilmerding, South Allegheny, Pine, Marshall, Ben Avon, West View and Ross).

And to Alison, if you get the urge to read the old blog once in a while, you are missed and everyone here and on the road hopes that you are well and enjoying your new position!
