"Because Nice Matters" is a saying printed on a wood block that my colleague Lisa Leonard Crase, the Children's Librarian at the Mary P. Shelton Public Library, Georgetown Branch kept on her desk.
Lisa passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last Wednesday at the age of 43 leaving two teenagers and a husband who adored and supported her in all she did.
Lisa and I worked on the transfer, installation and unveiling ceremony of a Ulysses S. Grant painting loaned to the Mary P. Shelton Public Library, Georgetown branch of the Brown County Public Library from a private collector in OH when I first started working for the library back in the fall of 2007 and on many more projects in the past year.
Her positive spirit, lack of complaint, ability to adapt to change, and handle patron issues of all kinds with sensitivity will remain with me. She was well loved by hundreds of children, (some now adults) and many patrons that she has served over the 15 years she worked at the Mary P. Shelton Public Library.
My life is richer for having known and worked with Lisa.
