Jacqueline Dick

Jacki came to the LCLS at a time of great change and growth. Her leadership made all the difference in our ability to provide excellent service to our patrons. But more importantly, she led with grace, humor and class. She will be missed by all who knew her.

The 80's and 90's at LCLS was an exciting time, a pioneering time, a great time to be a librarian. Working with Jackie, Dorothy, Lex, and many others who still gather today for lunch, was not to be missed. All of us will miss Jackie, however, for being herself, most of all.

Jacki Dick hired me from Portland Oregon in 1987 and was a mentor, supervisor and friend. She will be missed.

Twenty –five years of memories, some in the library and some at happy hour, cannot be condensed to one sentence or paragraph. Jacki was a co-worker, advisor, fellow library lover, and so much more. We will miss her.
