MEET THE STAFF:

Julie Burrey

Reference Associate

Interview By: Anna Daley

What is your position at the Library:

Julie: I am the Reference Associate with a specialty in local history
and archival work.

What is your favorite part of your job?
Julie: I love the Archives and have fun discovering what we have
here. My favorite collection is the Plymouth souvenirs. We have a
huge range of objects - postcards, maps, games - after all Plymouth
has been a tourist town for a long time.

Do you have a most memorable moment with a
patron that you can share?
Julie: Yes! Recently, I received a call from a woman who was in the
area visiting with family. She said she was doing some research for
a friend and wanted to use the Bartlett History Room. I told her
to meet me at the Reference Desk and I would take her up to the
History Room to get her started. She came in the front door and I
knew her immediately. It was my neighbor from the town I grew up
in Connecticut who moved to Florida over 40 years ago! She was
able to gather some information for her friend and we had a great
time catching up!
