For the first time in thirty years, DPL staff member Mary Prysi will not be kicking off the new year in the library. Mary has decided to retire from the library to spend more time with her family. Mary started out in the Children’s Room many moons ago and worked in nearly every department of the library over the years. For the last five years Mary was the Technology Manager in our Tech Room. Like any other business, things in the library change over time. Our collection is digitized and automated now. We do lots and lots of programming and eBooks have changed how we do business. What hasn’t changed, however, is our commitment to kindness. Some call it “customer service” or “user experience.” At DPL, we call it being kind and Mary Prysi was the kindest of them all. Thank you for all you have done at the library and please know how much we will miss you!
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
-Jim Gill, Director
