The City's Employee of the Month

Fran Fresquez, the Acquisitions Library Assistant in Technical Services, was just chosen as Employee of the Month by the City of Santa Fe! Ms Fresquez was honored at the 9/14/05 City Council meeting and presented with a lovely wall plaque, a check, and a bouquet of flowers. The staff of the Library had signed a petition nominating Ms Fresquez for her exceptional service. She worked "out of job class" for 13 months, taking on the responsibilities of Acquisitions Librarian while that position was empty. She also continued doing her regular job tasks. This was a difficult transition, as the former Director of Technical Services also retired during that time. Ms Fresquez took the initiative to find out the necessary procedures and answers to get the job done. She kept the Library’s financial records in excellent order, helped the new Director of Technical Services get up to speed, and earlier this summer trained the newly hired Acquisitions Librarian. We are grateful to have such a wonderful and dedicated employee on our staff. Congratulations Fran, on a job well done!
