DISPOSITION:
MONROE COUNTY EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH FOR JANUARY. 2003
PAULETTE SULLIVAN
Paulette Sullivan began her work with Monroe County in May of 1996, as a Library
Assistant at the Key Largo Branch. When the Branch Manager position became available
two and a half years later, Paulette accepted those responsibilities and, through the
promotional opportunity program, became the new Manager of the Key Largo Library.
She has filled that position admirably since then. She has developed the branch collection
to reflect local interests. She works with community groups and with other County
departments to assess and meet the changing needs of her community. In a branch that
circulated over 85,000 items last year, Paulette has been an example of professionalism
blended with the ideal of public service.
With a staff of five assistants, Paulette led the Key Largo Library in serving over 100,000
patrons who visited that branch last year, yet she maintains an atmosphere of
concentrating on the unique needs of each patron, In spite of her unmistakable New York
background, Paulette gives every evidence of true Keys caring for the individual, and her
patrons recognize and appreciate that aspect of her service.
Her dedication to her patrons and to her work makes Paulette an outstanding worker who
never gives less than her best. She is an asset to the Library system and to Monroe
County, and we are proud to recognize her as the Employee of the Month.
