Do you know these people?

There are a few people running around this town that you probably don't realize keep a finger on the pulse of the library functions and operations.
They're busy doing all the other important things that help keep Moultrie operating also. They are Colquitt County Commissioners, members of the Moultrie City Council, and representatives of various other organizations. However, to us here at the library, they are members of the Library System Board and the Odom Library Board.
For this reason, we'd like you to know who they are.
Members of the MCCLS Board are: Doug Strange (chairman), Terry R. Clark, Myrtle Lofton, Jackie Marshall, Alice Slocumb, Joanne Smith, Jim Soos, Diane Stevens, Jimmy Taylor, Susie Magwood-Thomas, Ed Willis, and Melinda Wright.
Members of the Odom Board are: Doug Strange (chairman), Brooks Sheldon (vice-chairman), Merle Baker, Jack Bridwell, Virginia Horkan, Lauren Howell, James M. Jeter, Paula Neely, and William McIntosh.
Once in a while these dedicated individuals get a pat on the back for helping to keep the Moultrie libraries up and running. These members, along with Director Melody S. Jenkins, are people you should know. They're the ones dedicated to keeping our doors open, so you have a place to use computers free of charge, check out books and other materials free, and have a place for your meetings to be held with no charge involved.
So, the next time you see one of these kind-hearted people walking around town, give them a little pat on the back and thank them for helping to keep your library doors open. When you look across the nation at what's happening to local libraries, you'll be glad the members of our two boards are here working for you, in ways you don't even know about.
