The longtime Director of the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library, Susan Moyer, was honored by members of the community during her retirement reception Thurday evening. She is wrapping up 33 years of service on Oct. 31.
Moyer, who is originally from Junction City, holds bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Texas. She said when she first arrived in 1992 the internet was new. "I was here when we had our first loan work station for internet with a dial-up connection." Since then that service has expanded and the Library has advanced into the web based world. "We embraced web based reading. We're working right now on a project to turn our community information directory into a website knowjc.org. That's definitely an evolution that's taken place."
Another high point has involved enbracing the role as a community information provider, development of a community history archive where local newspapers and yearbooks have been digitized, a community calendar and smaller community resource guides.
Moyer's future plans include traveling with her husband, continuing to do volunteer work and having a chance to enjoy the holidays without working full time.
Susan was presented with gifts from the Library Board of Directors and Friends of the Library.
Donna Porter is the new Director of the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library.
