Branigan Public Library is pleased to announce Renee, the Public Service Manager, as the Employee of the Month for October. Renee’s duties as manager include monitoring the daily operations at the Circulation Desk, supervise staff including work schedules, compile statistics for reports, and assisting patrons locating materials.
Renee is currently working with the library administration in redesigning the first floor to make it more customer friendly. She is also assisting with the selection and promotion of the new e-book service which will be coming very soon.
Renee would like to remind people of the wonderful programs offered here at the library. She encourages those that have not visited the library to stop by and check out our public computer lab, “great children’s programs, a pretty good media department stocked with DVDs, CDs, and audiobooks. Plus the library offers activities for teens and adults and we even have a movie night.”
Congratulations Renee for being Employee of the Month for October!
