~ Anita Harrell, Hampton Public Library

Every day I make a difference - streets are cleaner, someone has learned something - [and] my city benefits.

Hampton is an outstanding example of someone being in touch with the citizens and customers. And it gives us a sense of pride as employees to know that we are doing such a good job.

Every day I love coming to work. Each day is something challenging and different. Each builds toward the greater goal, which is to provide service to our customers.
