as the "Supervisor of the Year" for 2009. Denise started her career with the County as
a Library Clerk in 1988. She worked here for four years and then left to pursue a

way up to become Senior Library Supervisor, holding many different titles along the way.
Over the past eight years she has overseen the opening of two new regional libraries.

charge at the new South Regional Library. During this time she has not only managed
the staff and buildings, but has provided Children's Programs, Adult Programs and
pitched in to do whatever is needed to make sure that the Library continues to provide
services that exceed customer expectations. Due to staff shortages, she has spread her
leadership skills to provide additional support throughout the Library system. Denise has
