Today's Spotlight: Madeline Ventline, Circulation Assistant at Huron Public Library

"She is a delight to see every day. She is a retired medical librarian who chooses to spend her time with us here in a small public library at the circulation desk. She has years of experience and we can rely on her for any questions we have library related or not. She's willing to help with small tasks for the children's department, or big tasks like tea testing with adult services. I love working with her as she brings a smile to everyone's face."
