In This Issue

Welcome to the Community Services Department "Staff Spotlight" where a different staff member is featured in each issue. These special staff members are recognized for their daily contributions to our department and for their commitment to the Colton Community.

meet

Bryan Acevedo For this edition of the Colton Connection’s “Staff Spotlight”, we take great pride in recognizing Bryan Acevedo for his contributions to the community, to the City of Colton and to the thousands that visit the library annually.

Bryan’s commitment to serving the community is why the library is so valued by the people of Colton.

Mr. Acevedo began his service with the Colton Public Library in October 2016. Bryan is one of our newer library staff members but has shown great strides in his service to our library visitors. Bryan serves as the library’s lead cataloger and technical support contact. He works tirelessly to demonstrate exceptional service to library users of all ages and abilities.

When Mr. Acevedo is not providing circulation assistance, he can be found on the floor with library patrons providing assistance with the computers, Spanish translation, or serving as the library’s lead senior computer class instructor. Bryan is a valuable part of the library team.

It is with great honor and pride that we recognize Bryan Acevedo as this term’s spotlight employee. Bryan, thank you for all that you do for the library and many thanks for making the library such a great place to visit!
