Please join us on Sunday, January 13, at 1 p.m. when we dedicate the Children's Program Room in the new library to the memory of Merrill Skrocki and unveil a mural, by artist Ginny Sena, designed to evoke Mrs. Skrocki's interests and spirit.
Merrill Skrocki was an important member of the Children's Room staff from June 1994 until February 2002. She was a natural assisting children and finding the right books. She lead storytimes, established our popular Summmer Reading Club guessing game, and was editor of the library's newsletter.
We remember her love of children's literature, her quiet presence, her sparkle, and her humor. The new mural in the Children's Program Room reflects her ability to capture her storytime audience with a good book as well as her love of frogs. Kids who came to her storytime will remember "Freddy."
