City of National City
Performance Recognition Award
Nomination Form
I nominate: MARIA MARMOLEJO
for the Performance Recognition Award for the following reasons:
Maria first came to work at the National City Public Library in 1987 as a part-time library page. Maria
reached full-time status in 1991 as Library Assistant in the Audio -Visual department. In 2000, Maria
moved up to Library Technician upon assuming higher -level duties and responsibilities.
In her current position of Circulation Desk Supervisor, Maria is animportant contributor to the success
of the Library. Circulation is a front-line division responsible for all activities around the lending and
shelving of library materials such as: patron transactions, material checkouts, library card issuances,
materials shelving and displaying, etc... In addition to running one of the busiest divisions in the
library, Maria is also engaged in the selection of feature films, documentaries and music CDs, a
collection which is thoroughly enjoyed by library patrons if the circulation volume is any indication.
One of the first things the public notices when dealing with Maria is her customer -focused disposition.
Maria sets high standards of customer service by which she adheres to and expects all her staff to do
the same. On many occasions, patrons have commended her staff for their courteous demeanor and
excellent service. Should a front line staff call out, Maria steps right in to pick up the slack, even if it
means coming to work on the weekend.

One of the first things co-workers notice when interacting with Maria is her positive outlook and
attitude. Maria is willing to embrace changes and remains open to new approaches or ways of looking
at things. Even in differing points of view situations, Maria's customary comeback is "let's give it a
try!!"
I can go on enumerating many other qualities that make Maria such a valuable employee for any
agency. But if I have to pick the one thing that is Maria's quintessence, it's her focus on what one can
do, not what one cannot do mindset, which by itself is enough to put her in the league of Star
Employees. I hereby nominate Maria Marmolejo for the City of National City Performance
Recognition Award.
