Bio
Frank Cesaro
It's hard to remember the exact details but I credit Janet with directing me to my job at First Student, lo, these five years ago at a time when I was a very unemployed library patron. She's real good with people!
Louise Dimick
Janet Lynch was both Library Director at Erikson Institute and Reference Librarian at Franklin Park Public Library when we worked together, and I was continually impressed at how well she juggled both positions. Her manner towards patrons and staff was always professional, courteous, and helpful. I very much enjoyed working with Janet and appreciated all her contributions to the Franklin Park Public Library.
