Five Falvey Memorial Library staff members were recently honored at the University’s service recognition dinner on April 28.

William (Bill) Greene, Access Services, who received a mantle clock for 35 years of service; Luisa Cywinski, Access Services team leader, who received a watch for 25 years of service; Natalie Tomasco, Resource Management specialist, a watch for 25 years of service; Mary Heyman, Business and Administrative Services specialist, a desk clock for 20 years of service; and Marie Roman, Resource Management specialist, 15 years of service. They also received service-recognition pins.

Dinner attendees were treated to “a wonderful time” and “delicious food,” according to Mary Heyman.  Associate Vice President for Human Resources Ellen LaCorte, Ph.D. , provided welcoming comments, and University President Rev. Peter M. Donohue, O.S.A., Ph.D., congratulated each staff member and awarded the service-recognition pins.

In addition to the staff mentioned above, three librarians celebrated service anniversaries:  Susan Markley, Resource Management team leader – 30 years of service; Merrill Stein, Assessment – 20 years of service; and Barbara Quintiliano, Instructional Design and Research librarian – 10 years of service.

In 2009, several other Falvey staff members were honored: Domenick Liberato, Access Services – 20 years of service; Margaret Duffy, manager of Budget and Administrative Services – 10 years of service; and Ward Barnes, Access Services – 10 years of service.

These committed staff members and librarians have provided two hundred twenty years of dedicated service to Falvey Memorial Library and Villanova University, a truly impressive number.
