After nearly 15 years of dedicated service, we are saying a very bittersweet goodbye to our much-loved Library Clerk, Shirley Wooten. Mrs. Shirley first joined us as a substitute and later became a part-time clerk. We are truly going to miss seeing her at the library and hate to see her go, but we are so grateful for the many years she has shared with us. ❤️📚
