Mrs. Reelitz was always exceptionally kind to me. She encouraged my inquisitive mind and provided me with hours of great conversation while I was a student. She also put up with me on a long car ride through the Tennessee mountains (after nearly two weeks in the wilderness, no less). Now that's dedication!

Mrs. Reelitz was what i always expected a librarian to be: kind, helpful, and a great mentor. I remember many of the times when i would be working near the computer in her office and the great small talks she would have with me. It would always cheer me up to have a person to talk about my stressful times. For that, i am very grateful for her company.

What I remember about Mrs. Reelitz was being yelled at constantly for talking too loud in the library. I still smile when I think about it.
