Yesterday was a day of bittersweetness. We celebrated the birthday of Aretha Jackson-Africa and we also mourned the departure of Anneline Teixeira.
Ann has been working at Brooklyn library for 17 years as well as having volunteered for 2 years prior to her 17 years. Over the years she built up the wonderful childrens collection that we have and poured her heart and soul into her work and into the community. She is well known by all of our library patrons, having established relationships with many of them.
On the morning of her last day we had a farwell breakfast for her. Tears and laughs were shared and it can definitely be said that she left us with many fond memories. We hope that she will miss us as much we are missing her presence in the library and that her new life ventures are filled with excitement, happiness, joy and love.
Ann was a wonderful spirit and energy in the library and will always be remembered here. We do hope that she returns to the service one day and that her time spent at home raising her little ones is fullfilling and enjoyable.
Much love
The Brooklyn Library Team
