Notes:

Library Employee to Retire – Our dear friend and fellow employee Shirley F. Libby is retiring this June after more than thirty-four years of service with the Bangor Public Library. As our most enduring staff member, Shirley began her long tenure in the autumn of 1964, after working for Dun & Bradstreet for over eleven years. By that winter, her part time position as a Circulation staffer had shifted to include typing and other responsibilities with both the Cataloging and Reference departments.
 By 1975, Shirley was married to Lloyd A. Libby, working full time at the Library, and had moved on to become Head of both the Acquisitions and the Periodicals Departments. More than ten years later, Shirley’s two departments were folded in with Cataloging to create Technical Services. Shirley remained Head of Acquisitions, however, with the responsibilities of ordering, checking in, and processing all new Adult materials. Mending all of the Adult and Reference books has also been her responsibilty since 1991.
 “I will miss all the good people and all of the good times” says Shirley, adding that she has really enjoyed her work at the Bangor Public Library.
 Mrs. Libby, we wish you health and good fortune as you take your leave of the Library and the collection you have helped to enlarge and strengthen. Thank you for your dedication and for your absolute attention to detail. This Library and its people, patrons and staff will miss you. (source: Bangor Public Library Newsletter, May/June 1999.)
