Librarian of the Month

Each month, ByWater recognizes a librarian for their hard work and positive impact on the community. Martha (Marti) Fuerst, Systems Librarian, at the Huntsville Madison Public Library has been selected as June's Librarian of the Month.

Marti was nominated for her commitment to her library, community and Koha. She has helped many libraries learn more about adopting an open source ILS and the realities of a migration away from a proprietary system. She has also helped many of ByWater's partners on our listserv along with providing SQL assistance on the list.

When told about the award, Marti had the following to say:

"Wow! Thank you so much! I’m humbled and honored by this recognition - pretty much gobsmacked and blushing - thank you ."
