The 3 bear library system

I have been working in a large township library system for the past 18 years. We have 3 branches.

The papa bear branch - or the "main branch" - is the largest branch with the administration departments within it.

The mama branch - the one I now work at - is the medium size branch that is cozy, and is in the center of town.

 The baby bear branch - the one I managed the children's department for many years - is our smallest branch. The smallest branch is a one room building, and everyone does everything from emptying the book drop to reference services.

Our system works well together. Being part of a system has its advantages when promoting our programs and services. The disadvantage is in person department meetings and ideal communications. Thankfully we have phone and email! We are a community information center for over 52,000 residents.
