Please indulge me for a moment while I give a shout out to our amazing  
McArthur staff. The library was mentioned in TWO ALA publications  
recently:

I am so proud to be part of this amazing, caring, professional team!  
It has been a challenging year for everyone and the entire staff  
pulled together to pivot and create.

There have been too many performance highlights to mention every one.  
A few, 6,000 packages mailed to patrons during closure, a cool and  
innovative scavenger hunt (Summer Learning Program), a Youtube video  
that has topped 10k views. And a leader, Jeff Cabral, advocating for  
the staff throughout the entire pandemic!

Congratulations MCA team on all the accomplishments!
