An Interview with Wendy Our Technical Services Manager


How long have you worked at the dover public library?

30 years!

What is your typical workday like?

I am the Technical Services Manager and most people think it has to do with technology, but it is actually cataloging and processing of the library materials. I also work at the Adult Services desk an hour or more a day. I have to say I really enjoy cataloging as I see the new books and movies etc. I also order the movies and music CD’s so that is fun too! I also enjoy seeing the patrons when I work at the desk and helping them find what they are looking for.

Do you have any funny, positive, or heartwarming stories about the library? 

It’s such a good feeling when patrons tell you how much they appreciate the library and you when you help them with whatever they may have come in for, from finding a book to help on the computers or for faxing something for them.

What kind of books do you enjoy reading or listening to? Is there a book or series you would recommend?

I enjoy psychological thrillers, with a little romance thrown in. I also enjoy books with some humor. A few authors that I like are Shari Lapena, Janet Evanovich, Lisa Jewell and Sally Hepworth. I really like Janet Evanovichs’ Stephanie Plum series, it has a lot of humor.

Tell us about your family and pets.

My husband Tim, we have 2 children and 2 grandchildren. We also have our fur baby cat, Nestle she is so much fun. And is a real chatterbox in the mornings!

When you aren’t working what kinds of things do you enjoy doing?

I enjoy reading of course! I also enjoy crocheting and knitting and baking.
