Director's Corner
November brings dark skies, crisp
winds, crackly leaves, wonderful
aromas of good things in the kitchen
-- and more.
Here at IVPL, there will be some
staff changes once again this month.
Nancy Giovanetti, one of
our librarians, is moving back to
Florida with her family. In
addition to being helpful to you at
the Reference Desk, Nancy taught
genealogy workshops, led the mystery
book discussion, taught you how to
use downloadable audio, and
coordinated all the used-book
sales. We will miss you, Nancy!
Coming back to replace
Nancy will be Melanie Ford. We had
said our goodbyes to Melanie in July
when she left IVPL for Cherry
Hill. But, somehow, the Indian
Valley calls her back, and we
are happy to have Melanie return as
one of our reference librarians.
--Linda Beck, Director
