DISPOSITION:
YEARS OF SERVICE AWARD
VALERIE MOORE
BUSINESS MANAGER, LIBRARY
Valerie Moore started working for Monroe County in 1990, as Insurance Clerk with the
Employee Benefits Department. Shortly afterwards, she was reclassified as Office
Assistant II. The same year, she was promoted to Insurance Technician and then was
transferred to the Purchasing Department.
In 1993, Valerie became the Business Manager for the Monroe County Public Library,
and has stayed to excel in that position since then. Although her position duties are
primarily financial and business-related, on occasion she has helped out in various
areas of the Library. Whenever staff shortages have occurred, Valerie is among the first
to volunteer to fill the gap, helping with circulation, computer assistance, and presenting
children's programs. For one period in 2002, due to her broad knowledge of Library
needs and processes, she served as Acting Senior Librarian in the Key West Library.
Valerie is a fourth-generation Conch, a fact that has been of real benefit in networking
with other departments to implement procedures swiftly. Among the traits which make
her so valuable to the Library are her loyalty, dedication, and strong work ethic. She is
hardworking, reliable, and an expert in the workings of the "Coconut Telegraph."
Her County experience and the expertise she has acquired in many Library concerns
have made her an all-round "go-to" person for Library Administration and Library staff
throughout the County. Valerie's peers, supervisors, and the BaCC honored her with
Employee of the Month for February 1999.
Valerie is always pleasant and cheerful in her dealings with staff, patrons, and other
County departments. It is a real pleasure to honor her on her fifteen years of service
with Monroe County, and the Library Administration and staff look forward to many more
years.
