<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Join me in congratulating CADL’s Head Librarian at our Foster Branch, Jean Bolley on her retirement. Jean is and has been a truly exceptional librarian for our system. She’s been with CADL since we formed in 1998 and before that, she worked
for the Lansing Public Library beginning in 1973. Throughout all her years, she had a passion and talent for storytelling and storytimes. This stems not only from her experience as a librarian, but also from the fact that she has a master’s degree in Education
with an emphasis on storytelling. She built up our Foster Branch as the area leader for building early literacy skills for local families. There have been so many children in our area who started their literacy journey by attending Jean’s storytimes.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Along with all of Jean’s fantastic work, she’s also created a “farm team” of future librarians at Foster. We’ve had four staff members who’ve started as pages or library assistants and then moved on to get their degrees and into professional
positions. We can’t thank Jean enough for all that she’s given to the Eastside of Lansing and to our entire area. Please
