"Congratulations Thrall Library," Times Herald Record,
(Middletown, NY] October 23, 1973, pp. 32-33. Mrs. Gaines knew how to publicize Thrall's services. For a brief time 1973-1975 I was employed part time to assist her in her public relations projects. This was an area where she excelled. She knew what she wanted, and her suggestions were always first rate. I would later in 1982, work part time in the circulation department at Thrall. From October 1993 to the present I have worked part time as a 11brary assistant in the Reference Department.
