Senaca Falls, NY -- Librarian Susie Gutenberger was presented with the Joan Cooke Youth Services Award a week ago at the Finger Lakes Library System's 52nd Annual Meeting. Gutenberger is the first professional librarian at the Lansing Community Library, and has served in that position for only two years. Friends Of Lansing Community Library President Donna Scott says that makes the award all the more prestigious."The work that Susie Gutenberger has done since she joined LCL two years ago is extensive, innovative, imaginative and impressive," Scott says. "Her many accomplishments in so many different endeavors in the library shows why a good library needs to have a professional librarian at the helm, and not just well-meaning, hard-working volunteers running the operations. She has taken the Lansing Library to higher levels of service than we volunteers ever could have."

Among severe cuts necessitated by shrinking state aid and local revenue in the last budget cycle the Lansing Board of Education asked its Transportation Department to cut $90,000. That meant cutting bus runs, which alarmed parents. Over the summer school officials combined technology with the on-the-ground experience of their drivers to revamp the bus schedule by making it more efficient. The result is twofold: not only are Lansing school busses more predictable in terms of when they will pick up and drop off kids, but the $90,000 goal was exceeded.
