Meet the Staff - Dana Coale
Dana loves her job as a Library Technician and the fact that she is almost never bored at work. Between helping patrons at the circulation desk, Newcomer's Orientation, Craft Group, decorations and displays, online marketing, book processing and payroll she is a very busy worker bee.
The Library Family is still her favorite part of the job, patrons and co-workers keep a smile on her face and remain her motivation to continue pushing for bigger and better things.
The Craft Group is her "baby" and she is one proud Mommy :-) While the crafts vary, the goal remains the same and that is to encourage people to come to the Library and to give back to the community. Craft Group meetings are always on the last Wednesday of every month at 5PM and all are welcome. There are two Crafts for a Cause, one is to make tie blankets that are donated to the Phoenix Children's Hospital and the other is to make beanie hats for the following beneficiaries;

Meet the Staff - Yer Wrate
Yer is our super hard working Library Aid. She shelves and shifts books, helps out at the Circulation Desk, acts as a back up for Story Time, logs mail, handles recycling and is always willing to help out with whatever needs to be done around the Library.
If you have participated in the Craft Group then you have met Yer but you may not know that without her help (and help from Kathryn) the behind the scenes planning would never come together as well as it does.
We are all extremely grateful to Yer for her hard work, dedication and easy going attitude.
