Librarian of the Month

December 2023 Librarian of the Month

Every month ByWater Solutions recognizes a librarian that has made an impact on their library and community. We are happy to announce the December 2023 Librarian of the Month is Emily Lamancusa, IT Specialist III at the Montgomery County Public Libraries in Maryland.

Emily was nominated by Catrina Berka, Educator at ByWater Solutions, who commented:

Since joining MCPL in 2022, Emily has been active in the Koha community, commenting, reporting or QAing more than 100 bugs. As of this summer, she was announced as a new Quality Assurance Team member for the 23.11 release. It is evident from her interactions with the ByWater team that she not only cares about serving the interests of her library, but also the wider Koha community!"

Thank you, Emily for all you do! And Congratulations!

Do you have a staff member at your branch that you would like to nominate for ByWater's Librarian of the Month? We love to feature library staff members that are impacting their patrons, are valued members of the library team, and who go the extra mile in the open source and library community. Email us and let us know who they are, brag about all their accomplishments and we'll share it!
