Look at this adorable hedgehog our library work-study student Alex made! She made it out of a donated textbook so old we could not give it away. Now it sits on our circulation desk to greet our library patrons. 🙂

Thank you for helping us celebrate with this beautifully imaginative arrangement!

To celebrate we want to applaud our student staff. Colby, Marren, and Jacquese are part of our team of six who make library services work efficiently for our patrons.
This is one of the best teams we have ever had the pleasure of working with! Their customer service and clerical skills are impressive.
People often think library work is just shelving books, but our students work with the automated library system, help with collection management, use all the tools in Microsoft OWA, assist with our computer and AV technology. They also respond to our chat, email, and phone services. And, they are trained in privacy and confidentiality.

During we want to thank the employees who keep our library functioning. We are so proud of our two seniors, Boliver and Kassy. Both have worked at the NMCC Library for well over a year, including during the summer. Each has assisted with several complex projects - managing different project elements - in addition to minding the day-to-day business we do here, sometimes working solo. (Anyone who hires them after they graduate will get an awesome employee!)
We are grateful to Cook Florist in Presque Isle Maine for the lovely bouquet - it looks great and smells heavenly! https://www.presqueisleflowershop.com/
