Appreciation
As prison librarians we serve a population that does not have a lot of options for getting information. We can provide service with a smile and enthusiasm or with a negative attitude. Jeannie Remillard is the most positive person I have ever met. Even as we face budget cuts that could mean the loss of more valuable staff, Jeannie’s continued optimism has been a shining light for all of us. Jeannie provides a valuable service to the inmates at Stafford Creek Corrections Center, a service that does not always receive the recognition that it deserves. But then a THANK YOU like this one from a patron on behalf of himself and others arrives in the mail and shows her that all her work is not in vain. The last 20 years in prison has been a time of great change, but with a smile and enthusiasm Jeannie continues to provide excellent service.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy the links to the actual documents! It is so neat to see the actual kites! It has a gut-level impact that would be lost from a paraphrase or transcription. Thanks for sharing. :o)

I am constantly reccommending Jeannie and our library here at Stafford Creek to my GED students. I tell them that Jeannie is the best librarian we’ve ever had here! She is awesome!
