Dear Colleagues,

I am very pleased to tell you the terrific news that the Queens Public Library Foundation has secured a nearly $1 million grant through the City Parks Foundation -- $995,993 over the next three years -- to operate an environmental education center at Hunters Point Library.

Modeled after the Children’s Library Discovery Center at Central, the Hunters Point Environmental Education Center will offer a new STEM learning dimension to the branch, giving children ages 3 to 12 the opportunity to understand, study and learn about plant and marine life, pollution, composting, recycling and many other subjects. The center will open this fall.

Lynn Cole, the CLDC’s Interactive Exhibits Coordinator, along with Manager Euni Chang and the Hunters Point team, will lead the center in partnership with the New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection, the New York Hall of Science and the Queens Botanical Garden and the New York Botanical Gardens, among other organizations.

I would like to congratulate Amy Mugavero, Denise Clark, Janna Gjesdal and the rest of the QPLF team as well as Lynn and Sharon Cox for their outstanding work and leadership in securing the funds. I also want to congratulate and thank Euni and the Hunters Point team for providing a home for this fantastic initiative.

Employee Recognition Program
NOMINATION FORM
Awards nominee is to be considered for:
_____ Excellence in Community Service Award
_____ Staff Excellence Service Award
Name of Nominee: Symone Edwards
Position Title: Customer Service Representative
Department: Lefrak City
Nominated by: Sharon Diamond-Velox
Position Title: ACLM
Department: Lefrak City
Date: March 4, 2019

Ms. Edwards joined the Lefrak City team in November 2015 and has been an asset ever since. She is has a very pleasant demeanor and is always approachable. Ms. Edwards has a very strong work ethic. She arrives to work before her work schedule to ensure that the entire circulation desk and phones are sanitized and ready for daily operations. What I admire most about Ms. Edwards is that she is always willing to take on responsibilities and tasks regardless of how big or small, which shows her determination to learn and advance. I have noticed on many occasions that when a Customer Service Specialist is schedule off or is assisting a customer that Ms. Edwards will voluntarily assist with tech issues and printer malfunctions. When short of staff, she takes it upon herself to ask if there is anything that she can help with. When the Customer Service Representative retired, as the only remaining CCR, she assumed her responsibilities. When the Customer Service Supervisor resigned, she took on the added responsibility of ordering both custodial and office supplies.

Since the hourly hours have been drastically reduced, Ms. Edwards goes an extra mile during closing time to ensure that the branch is partially ready for the next day. She ensures that each table is cleared of residual books and that chairs are pushed under the table.

Ms. Edwards is always willing to learn something new. She is always willing to undertake anything that is asked of her which will be beneficial to the branch. If a staff member needs to switch their Saturday schedule, Ms. Edwards is the one that is relied on because of her flexibility. There are not many people that are flexible to the point where they are always looking out for the best interest of the branch. This is one of many reasons why Lefrak City management gives great honor to nominate Symone Edwards for the Staff Excellence Award.
