This week, we congratulate Robin for receiving the Provo Way Award. “I nominated her because she’s been here as a steady presence for years and years for all the kids at Westridge Elementary School,” said Emily Johnson, Westridge Elementary Library Media Supervisor. “She knows every book at this library. She knows just what the kids want to read. If I could, I’d name the Westridge Library the Robin Stokes Library in honor of her. I would be lost without her because of her wealth of experience. She’s such a good friend, and I’m so grateful she works here.” Read the full story at provo.edu.
