Congratulations!

Congrats to Kymberley Pelky at Oneida Community Library!
Kymberley received a letter last week from State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster that she has been selected to receive a Standing Up for Rural Schools, Libraries and Communities award.

Kymberley was nominated for this award for her outstanding "Suessabration" event that is hosted at their library. She will receive recognition at a special award program in Madison on Friday, March 7th.

Great job, Kymberley!
