Dream Big – Read: SRP Song 2012

At the spring conference, Yvette Couser from Merrimack Public Library, along with her husband Jonathan, performed a song they had written for the 2012 summer reading program theme, “Dream Big – Read!”  They were also kind enough to provide recordings of the song for us to use in our summer reading programs!

The songs are in MP3 format.  There is an instrumental version, so you can swap out the program and place names with your own events and local hot spots.  A lyrics sheet with chords is also included.  Enjoy!

Librarian of the Year & Spring Conference Photos

The CHILIS Librarian of the Year award is presented annually at our spring conference to honor a current youth services librarian who has contributed significantly to enriching library services to youth in New Hampshire.  The 2012 award went to Jan Streelman of the Wiggin Memorial Library in Stratham.

Jan Streelman - CHILIS Librarian of the Year 2012

In her award presentation, President Kathy Tracy said—

The list of her accomplishments is long and includes countless dynamic programs, both in the library and in the larger community….  A standout mention by both nominators is her make a Make-a-Difference Club, which offers children the opportunity to engage in service projects for the community.  Clearly her dedication to children must give her boundless energy!  She has excelled in every area of librarianship…

Her director states, “This library would be missing a piece of its heart without Miss Jan and the community would be much poorer.”  In her own nomination letter, her assistant director emphasizes how very special Miss Jan is to everyone—colleagues, parents, teachers, community members, and most of all the children.  She states, “I cannot imagine a better friend and colleague than Miss Jan.”

Congratulations, Jan!
