Fellowship
An email I received this week shows the power of social networking sites like Flickr. robotika writes, " I just got an email today about a fellows program named after you. You must be doing some great library work. I love the Darien library flickr site. I am still an MLS student at Simmons but your fellowship makes me want to hrry up and finish! "
The Louise Parker Berry Fellowship was started by George Wyper and the Darien Library Board of Trustees to honor my 25th anniversary as Director of the Library. Emily Weiss is our first Fellow, and her appointment ends in September. We are actively recruiting our next Fellow and are delighted that the word is out in the blogosphere. The Fellowship brings one of the best and brightest recent library school graduates to work in Darien for a two year appointment, working on high stakes projects. We have a relatively stable, small staff, and the Fellowship has brought new ideas to Darien. Emily has an interest in programming and her projects have included the summer reading program for adults, the Darien Community Matters blog, and a very successful Food for Fines drive.
