Congratulations, Savannah Wallace!
Savannah Wallace, youth services assistant, is HCPL’s March Who’s Awesome! winner. Savannah was one of nine nominations for the honor this month.
Ann Allen, also a youth services assistant, nominated Savannah saying, “For the past several months Savannah has been giving the shelves in the children’s library a “facelift.” She has been busy weeding, organizing, labeling and creating displays. Patrons have noticed. So many have been remarking how great the shelves look and how much easier it is for their children to find books that appeal to them. Savannah’s creativity and hard work have made the children’s library look so cheerful and inviting!”
Savannah joined the HCPL staff in July of 2015 in youth services. She has also worked in genealogy and reference. In addition to making the library a cheerful and inviting space with innovative displays, Savannah programs for a variety of ages at the Main Branch in Corydon. She is responsible for weekly Mother Goose sessions for babies and toddlers and also the weekly Teen Volunteers group. Savannah also collaborates on the special Fantastic Fridays programs, Family Fun events and youth services dance parties. She has recently taken on some of the library visits to Head Start.
In a February nomination, Director Alisa Burch said, “Savannah works hard to make the library a fun place for youngsters to create life long memories.”
Each month a winner will be selected by random drawing. A quarterly winner and nominator will receive a small prize in addition to the recognition.
Other staff members nominated in March were John Kunsman, Sara Deatrick, Jessica Stroud, Amanda Applegate, Debi Strubler, Shawnda Mosson and Tiffany Thieneman.
