Circulation Section Receives Mayor's Award Appleton Public Library's circulation section has received the Mayor's Award for Outstanding Service. Some of the accomplishments that qualified the section for the award were registering hundreds of voters during the presidential election, collecting food for fines for a local food pantry, circulating scripts for local theater groups, and contributing significantly to the rearrangment of the library's first floor. They did all this and kept up with circulation, which jumped by more than 25,000 circulations over 1999's total.

The section accomplished all this in addition to regular duties that include providing friendly and accurate service to library patrons checking out materials, notifying them of their reserves, finding things from the shelves that people have reserved, processing and sending notices and bills, processing interlibrary loans, maintaining shelves with new books, maintaining the patron database, routing materials to other libraries, shelfreading, mailing materials back to other libraries, and getting materials back on the shelves in correct order. All of this, plus the special projects and tasks, could not have been accomplished without the excellent job the members of the section did at cooperating and supporting each other by doing each others' duties so that added tasks could be taken on.

Members of the circulation staff are clerks Pat Baeten, Sharon Haczynski , Melody Hanson, Trish Kirk, Teri Kolosso, Pat Pehlke, and Janet Ponschock. Circulation clerk substitutes are Doris Carlson, Marianne Feil, Connie Henkel, Louise Honkomp, Laura Jandacek, Khue Lee, Diane Reinke, Pam Rubbelke, Judy Ryan, and Jean St. Aubin. Page/clerks are Kathy Berholtz, Kathy Choronzy, Sherry Harp, Randy Horton, Joann Jacobson, Kyle Nabilcy, and Sharon Williams. Pages include Arlene Bergsbaken, Gillian Dawson, Nancy Girouard, Jenni Helen, Barb Jochman, John Kellogg, Mary Lueck, and Bonnie Seiler. The section's assistant supervisors are Ann LeMieux and Mary Van Lieshout, and the supervisor is Vicki Lenz.
