Today is a bittersweet day at GPL as our head of Access Services, Phil Berardi, bids farewell. Following 7 years at GPL, first as a adult programming librarian, then 5.5 years directing Circulation, Phil is advancing his career as the new assistant director at Bethlehem Public Library. He has done a fine job implementing automated sorting, self-checkout, and the RFID system (still unique to us in the Upper Hudson Library System); plus establishing curbside service during the pandemic and instituting our fine-free policy. Congratulations and best wishes to you, Phil! #promotion #opportunity #advancement #newbeginnings #farewell #bestwishes #goodluck

Frequent GPL patron Hedi McKinley passed away rece

Frequent GPL patron Hedi McKinley passed away recently at the ripe old age of 102, following a resilient and extraordinary life. After being forced to flee Vienna in 1938 at age 18 following Kristallnacht ("the night of broken glass"), she settled in New York City, taught herself English, and graduated summa cum laude from Columbia University with a master's degree in social welfare. She settled in Altamont in 1969, became a professor at UAlbany, and launched her mental health practice, which she maintained well into her 90s. A well-known local celebrity, Hedi gave advice on WGY-AM and WTEN, and contributed to the Altamont Enterprise. In 1987, she was lauded with a New York State Social Worker of the Year award. Before being widowed the third time, Hedi and husband Joe were consummate bon vivants who traveled the world together, pushing the boundaries of lifestyle expectations in their 90s. Although Hedi lost 12 family members at the hands of the Nazis, she courageously revisited her homeland countless times over the years, and worked with the Holocaust Survivors & Friends Education Center's outreach program. We applaud the remarkable legacy of Hedi McKinley with her signature red glasses, who not only survived, but thrived, and gave so much back. Photo: Times Union. http://holocausteducation.org/
