Bob Ohlrich, Corydon circulation clerk, was HCPL’s Who’s Awesome! winner for January. Bob was one of 16 nominations for the honor this month.
Coworker Debi Strubler nominated Bob writing, “I work with Bob more than any other employee at the library. It is always a very pleasant experience. Bob is prompt on coming to work and returning from lunch. We always split the work at the circulation desk. I always rely on him to give me sound advice if I am to make a decision. He is enjoyable and positive. He is very courteous to all patrons and treats every patron with the same kindness and empathy. He has many great stories about the adventures of his life. And he can resist any temptation of a sweet treat offered to him at the circulation desk! I cannot resist the temptation. He is a great weather man as well!”
Ann Allen, who works in youth services, has also nominated Bob stating, “My husband comes into the library frequently and he always mentions how pleasant and professional Bob is. He added that people like Bob make our library a great place to visit. I also really appreciate Bob’s friendliness and energy!” And former employee Liz Dennis nominated Bob adding, “Bob seems to always be early to work. Bob goes above and beyond in chipping in where he can and being a good team player.”
Bob has been a member of the HCPL staff since March of 2020.
Each month a winner is selected by random drawing. Other staff members nominated in January were Amanda Applegate, Sarah Dorton, Shelley Gulley, Jaymee Jansa, Jan Kirkham, Debbie McClanahan, Eden Ransdell, Donna Seewer, Jennifer Schroering, Trevor Smith, Jessica Stroud, Debi Strubler and Brandy Wilkerson.
