Well, We Did It Again And Carolyn's "It"!

Carolyn Clark knew something special was going to happen, since everyone had gathered in the work room where she has her desk. But she had no idea it was going to happen to her, until Director Melody Jenkins announced that Carolyn was the November Employee of the Month for the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library.
With cheers from her coworkers, Carolyn received the E.O.M. certificate and flowers, and Ms. Jenkins announced the special parking place was Carolyn's for the month.
Thirty-six years ago, in September of 1971, Carolyn was hired to work on the Colquitt County Bookmobile. Later, she worked on the Thomas County Bookmobile when Thomas and Colquitt counties were in a regional system together (Colquitt-Thomas Regional Library System). When Thomas County dissolved the regional system in 1988 and the bookmobile service to that county from Moultrie ceased, Carolyn began working as the processing clerk in the main library, the job she holds today.
When I asked her what she liked best about working for the library, Carolyn said, "Being in the library and doing the processing. There were lots of good experiences with the Bookmobile, but I enjoy the processing now." (That's the essence of what she really said, without talking about ladies of a "certain age.")
Carolyn also enjoys her church, Oak Grove Baptist Church, where she's been an active member since 1949. She has been married to Joe Clark for 53 years and has three children (JoBeth, Donna and Brian) and seven grandchildren.
Those of us in the library who know Carolyn find her to be a kind and happy person. And when the mood strikes her, rather funny. We just enjoy working with her. So, we say, "Congratulations, Carolyn, for being it this month!"
