“Beth Sullivan Week”
Join us in recognizing Beth Sullivan as we celebrate her 20th year of service with the Walton & Tipton Township Public Library.
Beth has been the face of the library for two decades, and she is the go-to person with the knowledge and expertise of all things related to the library, whether that’s getting books through Interlibrary Loan or helping a patron find an interesting book. Lately, she has become known for her “This & That Sale,” which has grown exponentially over the years. This year, 18 local vendors participated in the community event that brought in more than 250 buyers. She also is known for starting the “Any Craft Time” group that meets at 1pm Thursdays. Participants knit, crochet, and work on other projects as they enjoy conversation.
So, we hope you’ll join us Dec. 9-12 to celebrate Beth. We can’t wait to see what she’s going to do next for our local library!
