Joanita Doll Masden, CKLS Talking Books Department Head, retired after 21 years. She began her career in 1989 with the department. Joanita was an influential force for Talking Books advocacy, and worked continually to promote the service. While with Talking Books, Jo was a witness to the evolution of changing technology; from records, to cassettes, to Digital Books. The medium may have changed, but the quality of service that Joanita strived to achieve remained a top priority for her. In her honor, a luncheon was held at the library on
Nov. 12. She was presented with a money tree, plaque, and ornamental statuary. Jo was overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone. We congratulate her and wish her all the best.
