SPRING 1990 lULTLLd A Publication Of The Tiffin-Seneca Public Library Jackie Yeager Says "Good-bye" to Junior Department After nearly 30 years as a librarian in the Junior Department, and well into her third generation of story-hour participants, Jacqueline Yeager will trade her story-telling chores for retirement. On May 31 she will say good-bye to Dr. Seuss and hello to one of her own favorite authors, Anne Tyler. "It will be nice to read a best seller while it's still a best seller!" she jokes. Mrs. Yeager's personal reading has been somewhat limited during her library career since she has made an effort to read nearly all of the fiction which she selects for her young readers and much of the nonfiction. Mrs. Yeager came to TSPL in August of 1961 when she was a young wife and mother. Her daughter, Nancy, is now grown and living in Columbus where she is a sous chef at the Columbus Athletic Club. Husband Dave is employed by National Machinery. Former Library Director Helen Blood hired Mrs. Yeager to work in the Junior Department for Barbara Thomson. Some months later, when Mrs. Thomson moved out of town, Mrs. Yeager was asked to take charge of the department. Mrs. Yeager recalls many changes over the years, including the "increased interest and participation by the community in library activities." She is especially pleased with the willingness of people to do volunteer work and to support the library in general. It was this community support which enabled the library to expand the facility and create the current Junior Library which was dedicated in September of 1988. Mrs. Yeager is responsible for developing several highly successful programming ventures for the children of Seneca County. She originated the Summer Reading Program in 1981, and it has seen steady growth each year. Last summer 418 children participated, reading and reporting on 6,699 books. For the past 13 years she has been responsible for preparing the library's portion of the Mini Page which appears Jackie Yeager in the Advertiser-Tribune. She also has worked to increase the interest in the Preschool Story Hour. When she took over the program, about 10 children participated. Now there are three groups with about 30 children in each. Retirement plans will include as much travel as possible. The Yeagers are world travelers, and she hopes that they will be able to return to Italy for another visit. Mrs. Yeager, who received a degree in music from Heidelberg College, also plans to spend more time playing the piano. She already has volunteered to play for June Huss and the library's Senior Citizen Outreach Program! GOOD LUCK JACKIE. YOU WILL BE MISSED! Second Grant Awarded to Senior Citizen Outreach Program TSPL's Senior Citizen Outreach Program has been awarded a grant of $4000 from the Allen Eiry Fund of the Columbus Foundation. This is the second grant presented to the program which is under the direction of library administrative assistant, June Huss. Mrs. Huss visits seven nursing homes monthly, and one every other month, with programs which combine songs, games, slides, show-and-tell, and re warding conversation. In June, residents will learn about beautiful front porches found on many Seneca County homes built in the 1900s. They also will see and talk about wildflowers native to the area. In July, Mrs. Huss has invited the nursing home residents to the library for an afternoon of activities, including a film, the game "What's My Line," and a tour of the library.
