Jouir d'une retraite heureuse!Have a happy retirement!

j-y-\j-y-\r\j~\nj-\r\j-u-\r^

The Iberia Parish Library is bidding a happy retirement to Mrs. MelvaPatton, who after 28 years of serving the public at the Main Library will

retire on Thursday, September 27, 2012. Born in Grand Marais, Louisiana,Mrs. Patton graduated from Jeanerette High School and received a degree

from a Business School in New Orleans. She began working with the librarywhen Carla Hostetter served as Library Director.

Current Library Director Kathy Miles states, "It has been a pleasureworking with Mrs. Patton in the 25 years I have been with the library. Shehas taken the many changes of the library profession in stride with a calm

demeanor and a friendly smile."

Patton began working when computers, dvds, copy machines andother technology were not part of daily library work. She remembers the cardcatalog fondly but wonders how she was able to function without the help ofa computer. Over the years she has met the challenges of modem technology

and the changes that have occurred at the library.

Patton said, "I grew to love the library so much, I decided to staylonger than I planned. I am excited for retirement, but will miss the staff andpatrons that I love talking to and providing assistance to on a daily basis. I

cherish every kind 'thank you' that was given. I am thankful to everyone formy years shared at the library and I plan to relax and travel in the future."
