Two Wellington Shire Council librarians were celebrated this month for achieving major service milestones.
Margaret Payne, who works at both Yarram and Sale libraries, was recognised for 45 years of service, while Michelle Selzer was acknowledged for 35 years of service, almost 30 of those years spent as Yarram’s Library Officer in Charge.
“It’s an amazing job,” Margaret says. “You meet wonderful people and you help people out. I love everything about it.”
“All of my friends have had multiple jobs and they say ‘How can you stay in the same job for so many years?’,” Michelle says. “But things have changed so much in my 35 years. We didn’t even have computers back when I started. We’re all learning new things, new skills and moving forward.”
