The Kasson Public Library Trustees and Friends of the Library celebrated National Library Week with a proclamation and an open house honoring the 2007 American Library Association Star Employee. Paula Talbert, Outreach Librarian was selected as the star employee because of her outstanding job as Books On Wheel (BOW) supervisor. Paula has only worked a year at the library but under her leadership the program has expanded to include intergenerational partnerships that include the senior center and KM Nursery group.
The Friends of the Library provided the punch and bars and also bought a book for Paula, Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions by John Thomas that she plans to share with the library and daycares. Paula was very honored with this award and in her thank you note wrote, " It is a great honor to be among people who have dedicated their lives to the library...to be able to work at a place that houses all of our future and past is honor enough...It starts by re-educating those who have fallen to the literary wayside...In closing I would like to thank all of you, the great seniors and inspiring daycares that helped me to be honored."
