After serving 46 years with the Library Service, Jenny Evans, Senior Customer Service Rep retired on 4th October. She is a well known and very popular member of the community, welcoming and assisting locals with her knowledge and warm and cheery approach.
A Library can be more than a place that lends books; it can get everyone involved. It can order books, photocopy, accommodate research and supply work stations, be a place to join reading and writing groups or renew a bus pass. As Jen says, story time and choosing books to borrow can lead children to a “world of imagination”.
In 2021, Jen achieved national acclaim from Unison when she was named Local Service Champion from 800 applicants from local authority staff for transforming the Library into a community hub welcoming everyone. Jen has loved her career with the Library Service and has very mixed feelings about retiring. She and her husband intend to travel and undertake another transformation – this time, in their garden. She will be very much missed by the residents of Frodsham who wish her happiness in her retirement.
