Trevor Smith, systems administrator, was HCPL’s Who’s Awesome! winner for April. Trevor was one of 15 nominations for the honor this month.
The nomination from Assistant Director Jessica Stroud read, “Every month there are many reasons to nominate Trevor! This month he was challenged with continuous issues on the library’s VMware server, but he persevered in getting it sorted out with minimal downtime for patrons and staff. Trevor also graciously helped me attach the vinyl stickers to the yard signs to promote the Pericles performance. I’m sure that I am missing other items that he’s accomplished this month, Trevor continues to be awesome!”

Library Director Alisa Burch also nominated Trevor this month writing, “In addition to his regular duties of keeping HCPL’s network up and running, Trevor created banners to promote the library’s summer reading program and the SoIN to Shakespeare performance this month. He also served as runner on April 28 while Steven was out. I appreciate his willingness to help wherever he is needed. Trevor is awesome!” Burch also nominated Trevor in January stating, “Trevor did a great job of handling the interviews with Cybertrack for the F4 Meeting on January 14. He even introduced the cybersecurity experts to some resources. Trevor is awesome!“
Last month Stroud wrote, “HCPL’s VMware server at the Corydon branch, the library’s primary server, unexpectedly started misbehaving on Saturday, March 28th. Trevor took swift action on Monday and continues to troubleshoot the issue into Tuesday to ensure access to the network and important online services for patrons and staff. Thank you, Trevor, for your continued support, reliability, knowledge, and skills.
