CHRISTY TYSON

Christy is one of my cousins, our mothers were sisters. We have a wonderful
family heritage to carry on. I loved visiting her in Salt Lake and Bountiful when we were children. I love and miss keeping in touch as we grew older but look forward to seeing her again.

Christy did a lot for public libraries and enriched many lives, including my own. I had just talked about some of her accomplishments with a friend when I heard of her passing...the World has lost a talented woman.

Christy was an amazing librarian and her work with teens will be lovingly remembered by all the young people, librarians, and Young Adult Library Service Association (YALSA) professionals who were blessed to know her. Her dedication is reflected in the upbeat and informative pieces she wrote for the professional library literature and her service as a two-term YALSA president. Most importantly, she touched the lives of countless teens in all the places she worked (including the City of Mesa...

Christy was a dear friend for many years. During the time we worked together in Spokane, she was a source of support, much laughter and many hours of car shopping! Beyond those days, I have many wonderful memories, including our long drive to Alabama with two dogs and a cat! She loved Jeanne, Jeannie and Jeannie's children and talked of them often. Most of all, she loved those YAs. Her star will always shine bright in the world because of the young readers she inspired and, in some cases, the...
