Avid LEGO enthusiast, comic book ju**ie, super powerhouse of general knowledge—these are the words to describe our adorable and kind staff member, Ms Rebekah. We are so happy to announce that today she has completed four years of being with us!
Apart from her usual museum and library duties, Rebekah has taken initiatives in helping with adult program set ups, making creative book stacks, updating the glass showcase displays to bring little glimpses of the museum into the library, and much more.
Her most memorable and whimsically creative contribution is supplying an emoji head and hand to our beheaded broken book statue!
Congratulations dear Rebekah on your fourth anniversary; we love you just the way you are.
