A Special 2015 Note from the Director
"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. " - Sir Isaac Newton
So, how's the view from where you're standing?
For most of us, it's more limited than we would like. In
this world, the path ahead is rarely clear. Alone, we can
see only by the light of our own backgrounds, experiences, and understanding.
Unless you happen to know we to find some friendly
giants willing to raise you up and help you see.
At Tiffin-Seneca Public Library, our shelves are full of
giants. We've collected towering work and wisdom from
thousands of authors, artists, and filmmakers, and each
title holds a wealth of understanding and experience
waiting to become yours.
Do you wonder what it takes to face extreme environments? Let Sebastian Junger sail you into The Perfect
Storm or John Krakauer take you Into Thin Air.
Do you yearn for a simpler life? Dee Williams shares
the joys and the burdens of minimalist living in The Big
Tiny.
Are you unsure how to stand up for what's right even
when everyone else says it's wrong? So was a kid named
Huckleberry Finn. That was 130 years ago, but he's still
willing to show you the way.
At its core, the library will always be about using stories—whether fiction or nonfiction, from a book or on a
screen—to connect
our patrons to other
minds. We want to
offer you the wisdom of the past and
the promise of the
present. Our passion is enlarging
your life.
And our wish is
simply this: That
every time you
walk through our
doors, your path
would become
more clear.
Welcome to the T-SPL Team!
It was a rough couple of months last year, with the
retirements of two key staff members at the Library. But
after a long, hard search, T-SPL is happy to announce
the arrival of two new staff members.
Katy Higgs has been named the newest Adult Services
Librarian and is ready to take on the challenge of answering any and all questions patrons might have. She
will also be helping to plan adult programs and events.
Miss Higgs said, "I am looking forward to participating in community events and leading library programs.
I'm hoping to kick off a cookbook club in the near future." |
She is originally from
Cleveland, but for ten years,
travelled overseas with her
parents as they worked
around the world.
Miss Higgs attended
school in Florida and obtained her MLS degree
from the University of
South Florida. She has
worked in an elementary
school setting, a teen setting
and is now excited to work
in an adult services position.
Miss Higgs's favorite book of all time? "Pride and
Prejudice."
And, we'd like to welcome Tami Frasier, who has been
named T-SPL's Housekeeper. Mrs. Frasier definitely has
an eye for detail as she keeps the Library in tip-top shape
for both patrons and staff.
Mrs. Frasier was bom in Fremont and has lived "all
over." In fact, she just moved back to the Tiffin area,
after living in Myrtle Beach for three years.
She has a husband and two daughters, ages 11 and 12,
who go to Tiffin City Schools.;
Mrs. Fraiser says, "I like
working. I like doing my
job. I feeling like I'm doing
something nice for everybody. And, I really enjoy
the people I work with."
Her favorite book is the
classic "The Giving Tree"
by Dr. Seuss and her favorite movies are "Despicable
Me 1 and 2."
Welcome, ladies, to the T-
SPL team. We are so happy
to have you with us. Please
feel free to stop by and say
hello to Tami and Katy!
