Mrs. Karin Ripka, Librarian                             After two years as a high school librarian, I began my Fabius-Pompey career in September of 1980.  At that time my position was split between the Pompey Elementary and the Fabius-Pompey Intermediate schools.  After that first year, we packed up the elementary library (and school) and integrated into what is now our elementary school.
      After all this time--surviving another complete packing and unpacking of the library for renovation and ousting the old card catalog  for our automated circulation and on-line catalog systems,  I continue  to enjoy working with students- sharing literature, teaching research skills, collaborating on projects, and providing materials to support the curriculum.
Mrs. Dorothy Barber, Library Aide     I have been with the library since 1995 working the circulation desk, processing new books and helping students and teachers locate material when Mrs. Ripka is teaching library  classes.
