Cathy Maassen – 2009 Staff Member of the Year 

For her never-ending supply of spellbinding and larger-than-life ideas that come to fruition with outstanding outcomes for the library and the community. Cathy’s energy and commitment cannot be contained by the library walls, and she has burst forth to every corner of Skokie harvesting a cornucopia of powerful community partnerships. Cathy has breathed life into school visits with adventurous activities that engage even the most reluctant of students. She has designed programs and events that fully embrace the many cultures in Skokie, and inspiring greater community participation. Cathy’s colleagues look to her as the one who can get to the heart of the problem, find great solutions, and make it all fun at the same time.
