Tree Dedicated in the Memory of Librarian Michelle Facto

Michelle Facto was an amazing and innovative member of the Maitland Public Library staff. She served as the library’s first Assistant Public Services Librarian starting in September 2007, and soon after she was promoted to the Public Services Librarian. Michelle shared many inventive ideas with staff and patrons, and her optimistic attitude was contagious. She was wonderful addition to the library team and dedicated the library profession; most of all, she was a vibrant and fun-loving person. We unfortunately lost her all too soon on June 30, 2008. Michelle will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

A Dahoon Holly tree was planted in Lake Lily Park in Michelle’s memory on Sunday, May 3rd as part of the City of Maitland’s Arbor Day Celebration. The tree is located to the left of the overlook located in front of the Maitland Civic Center. A memorial plaque will be placed by the tree this summer.
