Jean Schweitzer is Library Volunteer of the Year
Library Volunteer Jean Schweitzer was honored as the Library Volunteer of the Year 2012 at the Paso Robles City Library’s annual volunteer reception.
Jean began her service to the Paso Robles City Library back in the Carnegie days as the Assistant Librarian then moved to the Templeton school district where she could enjoy summers off and trips to Michigan. When she retired in 2006, Jean returned to the Paso Robles City Library as a volunteer and where better to utilize her talents and expertise but at the reference desk.
“This is the 11th year the Library has presented a Library Volunteer of the Year Award
and we couldn’t be happier to award it this year to Jean,” said Library Manager Karen
Christiansen. “Her wealth of knowledge in all aspects of library service and her
willingness to fill in for other volunteers has been invaluable. Because Jean has such a
long history with our Library, she has been invaluable to us not only at the Reference
Desk, but also with helping to sort our donated materials.”
Previous winners are Jean Schubert, 2002; Janine Kramer, 2003; Audrey
Krauss 2004; Ann Martinez, 2005; Denise Surber, 2006; Joan Case, 2007; Mike Reagan,
2008; Cappy Culver, 2009; Nan Madding, 2010; and Bill Dupree, 2011. Jean’s name has
been added to the perpetual plaque in the Library.
The annual volunteer reception recognizes the 130-plus Library volunteers and the
16,000-plus hours they contribute each year in pursuit of excellence in library service.
