Motion by Bolger, seconded by Nolan, to insert the following
tribute to Lillian Anglese in the permanent records of the Council minutes:
A TRIBUTE TO LILLIAN ANGLESE
UPON HER RETIREMENT AFTER 32 YEARS
OF SERVICE ON THE McHENRY PUBLIC LIBRARY
BOARD
Once in awhile, 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 because 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 grateful 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
Monday, May 1, 1978 Page 7
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.
Voting Aye: Smith, Adams, Schooley, Rogers, Bolger, Nolan,
Harker, Datz.

Absent: None.
Motion carried.
Motion by Smith, seconded by Adams, to adjourn.
