Polly Munck, 1927-2020

Polly Munck was one of several people who were instrumental in establishing a library in Johnston in the 1980s. She served on the JPL Board of Trustees and as a volunteer up until late 2018. While visiting family in Wisconsin, she fell on an icy patch and spent several months in Wisconsin recuperating. Polly returned to her apartment in Johnston but then moved into Martina Place.

Polly passed away on September 1st. We will remember her enthusiasm and her no-nonsense attitude. Polly impressed us all with her speed and efficiency when covering our book jackets. Her decades of devotion to the library humble us.

Many thanks to Molly for submitting Polly’s name to the Governor for recognition for her many, many hours of volunteer service. It was a proud moment (and well-deserved honor) for Polly and her family, as noted in her obituary.
