When students visit the RTP Library in the afternoons, they find Syd at the desk, always smiling and happy to help them. She's so creative, regularly coming up with new displays and programs, and always eager to learn and help out around the library. I'm so glad she's a part of our RTP Library team!

I saw this quote today and immediately thought of you: "A key to growing as a teacher is to keep company mainly with teachers who uplift YOU, whose presence inspires YOU and whose dedication drives YOU." – Robert John Meehan (2018)

You are all of these things and more.
