STARTED MY CAREER IN LIBRARY WORK AT HENDERSON REGIONAL LIBRARY. MRS CROSBY WAS A CARING BOSS WHO HAD THE PATIENCE TO HELP ME SLOWLY FEEL CONFIDANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE RUNNING OF THE LIBRARY. I ENJOYED WHERE WE WOULD SORT CARDS AND JOKE AROUND BEFORE THE LIBRARY OPENED. THERE WERE BOOK COVERS TO PUT ON, HELP THE PUBLIC AND DELIVER BOOKS TO SHUT-INS. MRS CROSBY WAS A KIND PERSON. WE WOULD HAVE CHRISTMAS PARTIES AT HER HOUSE WHEN MANY OF US WERE SINGLE AND AWAY FROM HOME. - Posted by: Steve Rash (employee) on: Mar 09, 2021
