-------- Original Message -------- It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Mr. George Combs as the new branch manager of Local History/Special Collections. For the last twelve years, George has been one of the staff that has not only provided excellent customer service to those patrons in Lloyd House but continued that same excellence when the division moved to the Barrett Branch. Working his way up from the Archives Intern to Library Assistant to Division Supervisor, he is familiar with all facets of the wonderful collection, the patrons, and their needs. A real builder of partnerships, George has an excellent working relationship with other city agencies, the Friends of Local History, various civic organizations, and the National Park Service. He currently serves on the Executive Board of the Northern Virginia Association for History and the Alexandria Historical Society. He has a Masters of Science in Library Science from the Catholic University of America (concentration in Archives), and Bachelors of Arts in History from Western Connecticut State University. Please join me in congratulating him on his promotion to branch manager! -- Rose Dawson Deputy Director of Libraries Alexandria Library 5005 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 22304 [log in to unmask] Ph: 703-519-5905 Fax: 703-519-5916 To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-roots.html
