                        The Outreach
         PATRON SPOTLIGHT - RUTH SIEGFRIED
             Our patron interviews continue with a glimpse
into the interesting life of Ruth Siegfried.
      Ruth was born in Westerville, Ohio and has lived
here almost her entire life, except when she lived briefly
in Marengo and Columbus. She grew up on a farm as the
oldest of six children and loved to go to school. Educa-
tion was a vacation for her from her normal housework!
In fact, she loved education so much that she worked as
a secretary for the Westerville City Schools administra-
tive office for twenty years. When compared to her other
roles as caregiver, childcare provider, selling Highlights
Magazine, making donuts at Kroger, and creating files, working with the
schools was her favorite.
      She met her husband, Harry, through a friend and fell in love with his
sense of community and his companionship. He was a great friend and they
were married for fifty years until he passed away about twenty years ago.
They had three children and she currently has two granddaughters and two
great-grandchildren.
      Ruth and Harry owned four different motor homes during their time to-
gether and loved to travel. She has been to Canada, Mexico, France, Austra-
lia, and England. If she could go anywhere in the world now, she would
choose France or England. Some of her favorite travel moments include a tea
dance in England and when Aborigines (both male and female) gave her
brother kisses for his birthday.
      Her favorite pastimes include dancing, reading, golfing, and bowling.
She and her husband both received many bowling trophies and her average
bowling score was 160 to 200! She loves cherry pie, salads, bread pudding,
and her favorite restaurant is Smokey Bones. Spring is her favorite season.
The only reason Fall is not tied with Spring for her favorite is because it is fol-
lowed by Winter.
      Ruth is most proud of raising her children and providing them with a
good education. She is an inspirational woman and is still involved with her
church and community. It was a pleasure to talk with her!

                                       Mary Ann Huster:
                History of Westerville Public Library Outreach by Ellyn Dinning

       When I began to work for the Westerville Public Library in 1993 in the Circulation
Department, the assistant manager was Mary Ann Huster. What I didn t realize was that
she was also the head of the Outreach Department. I
would later figure that out. She did that job part-time
as well as work in Circulation. There was another full-
timer working with her and a part-timer.
Mary Ann started to work at the library in May of
1977. Outreach began in the early 80 s (Mary Ann
wasn t quite sure of the exact year). She was asked by
Jane Bradford, the Director of the library, to do it with
a reference librarian, Susan Morse. Mary Ann said at
that time, they delivered to Edgewood Nursing Home,
Manor Care, Columbus Colony Apartments and the
nursing home, and Sugar Grove Apartments. They
were only in contact with the Activity Directors for
each place and would bring a variety of books.
Alice Nodes, another librarian, took over when Susan
Morse left the library. By this time, Friendship Village,
Harris House and the Village at Westerville Apartments and nursing home were added.
They started to call the people that they could and brought them the books that they de-
sired. Mary Ann was happy to hear that we still do some things the way she used to, like
setting out books at the Village at Westerville on the pool table and setting out books in
the Library of Friendship Village.
       They also went to a few patrons in their homes. Mary Ann couldn t remember ex-
actly how many it wasn t the number we do now!
       When Alice Nodes left, Mary Ann was working with Lucy Curran and Janet Brin-
son (who still works at WPL!). She and Lucy would take turns using their cars for de-
liveries. They packed the books in paper bags just like we did until a year ago, and
transported them in the kind of shopping carts that you pull along.
Their workspace was in the circulation work room, piling books on their desks and any
empty work space they could fine. In the late 80 s they got a mini van to transport the
books. They had volunteers to help Jim Hickman and a Library Board member, Bar-
bara Bulthaup.
       Mary Ann said that her favorite part of working in Outreach was getting to know
the patrons. I watched her face change as she talked about one particular couple that
they delivered to. After the woman s husband died, they got closer to her, even getting
to know the rest of the family. I could see how much that experience meant to her. We
all feel the same way the patrons are the best part of the job.
Maybe some of you remember Mary Ann. She retired from the library in October, 1998
and has been keeping busy.

                 clients turn up dead, she gets
                 more than what she bargained
                               for.

July 2012: Outreach Newsletter

  • 1. July/August 2012 The Outreach PATRON SPOTLIGHT - RUTH SIEGFRIED Our patron interviews continue with a glimpse into the interesting life of Ruth Siegfried. Ruth was born in Westerville, Ohio and has lived here almost her entire life, except when she lived briefly in Marengo and Columbus. She grew up on a farm as the oldest of six children and loved to go to school. Educa- tion was a vacation for her from her normal housework! In fact, she loved education so much that she worked as a secretary for the Westerville City Schools administra- tive office for twenty years. When compared to her other roles as caregiver, childcare provider, selling Highlights Magazine, making donuts at Kroger, and creating files, working with the schools was her favorite. She met her husband, Harry, through a friend and fell in love with his sense of community and his companionship. He was a great friend and they were married for fifty years until he passed away about twenty years ago. They had three children and she currently has two granddaughters and two great-grandchildren. Ruth and Harry owned four different motor homes during their time to- gether and loved to travel. She has been to Canada, Mexico, France, Austra- lia, and England. If she could go anywhere in the world now, she would choose France or England. Some of her favorite travel moments include a tea dance in England and when Aborigines (both male and female) gave her brother kisses for his birthday. Her favorite pastimes include dancing, reading, golfing, and bowling. She and her husband both received many bowling trophies and her average bowling score was 160 to 200! She loves cherry pie, salads, bread pudding, and her favorite restaurant is Smokey Bones. Spring is her favorite season. The only reason Fall is not tied with Spring for her favorite is because it is fol- lowed by Winter. Ruth is most proud of raising her children and providing them with a good education. She is an inspirational woman and is still involved with her church and community. It was a pleasure to talk with her!

  • 3. T h e ou t r ea c h J u l y / A u g u s t P a g e 3 Mary Ann Huster: History of Westerville Public Library Outreach by Ellyn Dinning When I began to work for the Westerville Public Library in 1993 in the Circulation Department, the assistant manager was Mary Ann Huster. What I didn t realize was that she was also the head of the Outreach Department. I would later figure that out. She did that job part-time as well as work in Circulation. There was another full- timer working with her and a part-timer. Mary Ann started to work at the library in May of 1977. Outreach began in the early 80 s (Mary Ann wasn t quite sure of the exact year). She was asked by Jane Bradford, the Director of the library, to do it with a reference librarian, Susan Morse. Mary Ann said at that time, they delivered to Edgewood Nursing Home, Manor Care, Columbus Colony Apartments and the nursing home, and Sugar Grove Apartments. They were only in contact with the Activity Directors for each place and would bring a variety of books. Alice Nodes, another librarian, took over when Susan Morse left the library. By this time, Friendship Village, Harris House and the Village at Westerville Apartments and nursing home were added. They started to call the people that they could and brought them the books that they de- sired. Mary Ann was happy to hear that we still do some things the way she used to, like setting out books at the Village at Westerville on the pool table and setting out books in the Library of Friendship Village. They also went to a few patrons in their homes. Mary Ann couldn t remember ex- actly how many it wasn t the number we do now! When Alice Nodes left, Mary Ann was working with Lucy Curran and Janet Brin- son (who still works at WPL!). She and Lucy would take turns using their cars for de- liveries. They packed the books in paper bags just like we did until a year ago, and transported them in the kind of shopping carts that you pull along. Their workspace was in the circulation work room, piling books on their desks and any empty work space they could fine. In the late 80 s they got a mini van to transport the books. They had volunteers to help Jim Hickman and a Library Board member, Bar- bara Bulthaup. Mary Ann said that her favorite part of working in Outreach was getting to know the patrons. I watched her face change as she talked about one particular couple that they delivered to. After the woman s husband died, they got closer to her, even getting to know the rest of the family. I could see how much that experience meant to her. We all feel the same way the patrons are the best part of the job. Maybe some of you remember Mary Ann. She retired from the library in October, 1998 and has been keeping busy.
