Student Awards 2011
The Capital District Library Council's Eighth Annual Outstanding Student Employee Award ceremony was held Thursday April 14, 2011 for a group of superb high school and college students working in area libraries.
The students were nominated by their supervisors for the high degree of excellence they have shown in working for their libraries. Speakers at the event encouraged them to consider pursuing a career in librarianship. High school and college students are eligible for the award based on these qualifications: excellent patron services and interaction with their colleagues; peer leadership; responsibility; attendance; initiative and interest in the field. Area libraries participate in this program voluntarily when they believe that they have a student employee who is deserving of special recognition.
In addition to the certificate, the students received a gift from CDLC. Accompanied by their supervisors and parents the students were honored at a reception following the event.
This year's awardees are: Dylan Bruening and Michelle Hand of the Guilderland Public Library; Rebecca Selig of the Round Lake Library; Carly Bennett and Vanessa Bishop-Pointer of The Sage Colleges; Terrance Logan and Christina Manning of Siena College; and Jamie Anderson, Kimberly Blecich and Chelsea Curtis of Union College.
CDLC thanks Master of Ceremonies, CDLC Board President Barbara Beverley; guest speaker, Sharon Phillips of the New York State Talking Book and Braille Library; committee members Sean Conley (Siena College), Margaret Lanoue (Guilderland Public Library), Mary Lindner (The College of St. Rose), Cara Molyneaux (Union College), and Regina Vertone (Albany Memorial and Samaritan Hospitals) for their assistance with the program and event.
