Canton Public Library honored by Michigan Top Workplaces 2024
The Canton Public Library has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2024 honor by The Michigan Top Workplaces.
“Every day, I am surrounded by fun, knowledgeable coworkers, and I get to help all kinds of interesting patrons find their way to what they need,” said Librarian Erin Strand, who has worked at the library in several roles during her nearly 20 years of employment. “It’s a fantastic library community, and I’m so glad I’m a part of it.”
“Given how passionate our staff is about serving our community, it’s no surprise that they find the library a great place to work,” said Library Director Eva Davis. “When your personal values align with your workplace’s mission, it makes for a satisfying and rewarding career.”
The community appreciates the staff’s efforts, according to Pam Letts, a 26-year Canton Public Library employee.
“I have always liked that both the people I work with and those who come to the library are cheerful and grateful for our work,” Letts said.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of.
“In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends,” she added.
The Canton Public Library serves the 98,000 residents of Canton with a 52,000 square foot facility. It is the busiest single-branch library in Michigan and circulates more than 1 million items annually.
