She currently works for the Great River Regional library <br /> and began working for the Elk River Library in September 1985. <br /> Mick has overseen many changes during her 27-years at the library,not the least of which is the facility <br /> itself. The old library located at 413 Proctor Avenue was expanded in 1995. Then in 2007, the new <br /> library opened across the street from City Hall and the old library became the City of Elk River Activity <br /> Center serving our local senior population. The new library,with 25-percent more shelving space,has <br /> become one of the busiest libraries in the Great River Regional Library system with the second largest <br /> circulation. <br /> Mick's knowledge and relationships developed with many of Elk River's residents will be greatly missed <br /> by the city and the community. She is recognized for increasing circulation and building a strong local <br /> library program. <br /> An open house for the public and staff to honor Mick Stoffers was held on October 10 at the library. <br /> Members of the Friends of the library and staff plan to attend the Council Meeting when the retirement <br /> plaque is presented to Mick. <br /> We wish Mick to live lightly,but brightly during her retirement years. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> • Plaque Language <br /> Action Motion by Second by Vote <br /> Follow Up <br /> F R E D B Y <br /> N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\10-15-2012\Mick retirement October 31 2012.docx NATURE <br />
