Take Me Out to the Ball Game…
So my Library hooked me up with two tickets to a Lakewood Blue Claws (minor league) baseball game. When I arrived with my boyfriend, I saw many people holding inflatable OCL noise makers. Woo woo! And then, Sparks, our Library’s Mascot, appeared! And the Blue Claws Mascot (I don’t know what it was supposed to be) got jealous and appeared right next to Sparks. So I snagged some pictures:

At Ocean County Library’s annual Staff Development Day, I was given a First Impression Award. This award honors a staff member who exemplifies the shared values of the Ocean County Library – Customer Service, Respect, Integrity, Excellence and Community – during his or her first 24 months of employment. It was very exciting! I work with an excellent Young Adult Team as well as many talented reference Librarians, whose mentoring and support has helped me greatly. I wouldn’t be successful without them!
Other First Impression Award winners include (from left) Angela, me, Marguerite, Elsworth, Elaine (our director), and Tyler.
Asbury Park Press Whatever
The OCL Teen Anime Clubs were featured in Tuesday’s Asbury Park Press. I’m so proud of the Toms River Club especially. They showed up in droves and the costumes were fantastic. It was tough picking a Cosplay winner. The article was written by a teen at the event but part of the Stafford branch’s club. Check it out!
