A Fond Fare-
wellMaria Alda Lopez
Following 26 years of
devoted service,
Maria retires from
the Elizabeth Public
Library at the end of
January. A warm
and welcoming pres-
ence at the LaCorte
Branch, Maria will be
much missed by the
parents and children
to whom she was a friend and a guide. Noting that Maria is
“the consummate professional,” Branch Manager Robert Bar-
banell adds that Maria “managed LaCorte with a grace that
seemed effortless but was the result of hard work.” Please join
us in thanking Maria for her care and devotion. We will miss her!
