UPON HER RETIREMENT AFTER 32 YEARS R-78-12
OF SERVICE ON THE McHENRY PUBLIC LIBRARY
BOARD
Once in a while, and sometimes only once in a lifetime,
someone like Lillian Anglese comes along and, with special talents,
helps to shape a little corner of the world. In this case that
little corner of the world is the McHenry Public Library.
Lillian possesses a unique quality of gentle persuasion that
brings out the best in those who work with her. It is largely be-
cause of her guidance that we have a fine library in McHenry today.
Without her help and knowledge in library affairs, I am afraid we
might have slipped many times along the way. And so we are grate-
ful to Lillian - not only for the questions she answered but just
as importantly for the answers she questioned.
How can we best pay tribute to this grand and gracious lady
- we can only try. Lillian Anglese represents the best of McHenry
- love and laughter - culture and wit and wisdom and grace in
public service. For more than two generations she has imparted a
nobility in all she has done, a grandeur of purpose which has
helped shape the lives of those she touched.
Thank you Lillian for a job well done.
