A little girl came up to the librarian at the front desk and asked if anyone else was working here, and she said, "Lots of other people work here!" The librarian went to get the security office and took him over to the little girl who promptly gave him an adorable picture she had drawn, and, in turn, he taught the little girl how to sign the words "Appreciate" and "Thank you". Doesn't get cuter than that! A big Thank You to our awesome security staff for all you do to build community and model kindness and lifelong learning in the course of your work!
