Thank You, Stephen!

I am very thankful for my experience at the Noel Wien library! It has given me more community outreach skills. This experience has given me more of an appreciation for the Fairbanks community and the work the library is doing to support the community. Special thank you to all the library staff who always were so friendly to me and offered ideas, especially to Melissa Harter. I am so proud to be part of the work that our library is doing, which is so vital to our community during the time of coivd.  Thank you! Gracias! 

The library is a challenge in the best of times.  It is a feast or famine situation,  and our VISTAS need to be self-sufficient and go-getters to make the most of this placement.  Stephen is a shining example of the perfect fit for our mission.  From the beginning he was very open minded and willing to adapt to our ways.  His arrival during COVID added complicating factors to his year here, but still he persisted in moving projects forward.  Always willing to help and do what is necessary, Stephen has been a truly positive force for our staff.  With his friendly nature and can-do attitude, he immediately fit in and was accepted as one of our own. His contributions to our programs are many.  He is very well liked, and he will sorely be missed, but we wish him all the best in his new adventures!"
