2022 Library Hero Awards

We realized that we never announced our 2022 Library Hero award recipients here nor on social media. Please accept our apologies!

Congratulations to
Puanani Mateaki & Mady Meyers
who were named our 2022 Library Heroes!

NOMINATION: 

"One night in [2010], Puanani Mateaki, a librarian new to Cache Valley, suggested to me that we create a library association in our area. I created a Facebook group and she drew up a list of local librarians. In January, 2012, she invited them to two meetings at her library to discuss the idea with others. That idea soon blossomed into our Cache Valley Library Association, an organization that has increased the visibility of our libraries and supported many library workers over the last ten years. It's time we honor her for the wonderful spark of an idea (and how fitting to do it exactly ten years on from the first meetings)!"

NOMINATION:

"Mady Meyers is a children's librarian. She shares her love for books with all the children around her. The kids love her and get so excited to see her. She is great at kneeling down to get on their level to talk with them. She truly listens and cares about them. She is always happy and smiling! She brings to work a positive countenance with her. She is very talented with always coming up with creative ideas for the kids to enjoy and participate in. The patrons love her and her positive energy. She is so kind to patrons with helping and serving them in the best ways. She is passionate about her job and it shows through all the hard work she puts in. She shares her love for Harry Potter with all. She has a very kind and big heart for all!"
