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!
