Thank you, Robert, for keeping the floors in Blair Hall in such good condition this winter. You have done an amazing job cleaning the salt out of the hallway and keeping the building looking nice. I know it's not easy to keep up with it when the weather is not cooperating.

HUGE shout out to Denise Adducci for finding keys in the McAfee parking lot and then taking the time (on a freeeezing cold day) to figure out they belonged to me! I appreciate you so much!

Ron is thoughtful and conscientious, and consistently looks for ways to improve efficiencies, with thought & care for patrons and his coworkers. He is truly a joy to work with.

Kyle is always willing to go out of his way to help and support his coworkers. Each time I've needed assistance, regardless of the scale, Kyle is consistently one of my people who shows up and looks for ways to help. He's a great asset to the library team.

RJ is a big support for EIU. It isn't always broadcasted because a lot of it is done in the shadows. He is a person that looks over his communication channels on his day off to support those in need. He is someone that is not afraid to pick up a task and get it done. I am thankful that he is a part of EIU and I feel blessed to work with him. Thanks RJ for doing all that you do and for being who you are!
