Good Job….Mae
Mae used to bring books to the Wilmar Library for my mom to read. She would bring the large print edition so it would be easier for my mom to read.
She is a very sweet lady…Thanks Mae for helping my mom.

Thank God for Mae. I have worked with her in several categories: First, we met when I taught one of Mae’s foster children at Monticello Junior High. I was very impressed with her. Second, I met Mae at the library. When I retired, I visited there quite regularly. I always looked forward to her smiling face. Third, I have worked with Mae for the past year on the board of the “Friends of the Library”. She was ( is ) very hardworking and takes responsibity quickly. I sincerely hope that she counts me as her friend.

Mae Simpson is a wonderful person and friend. I haven’t been able to get over to the library like I used to but am making more time here lately, one, because I love to read, and two, I love to visit Mae. Thanks, Mae, for all you do for the city of Monticello and surrounding communities. Drew County needs more people like Mae Simpson.

Thanks you for the recognition that you have given to my mother, I too feel that she well-deserved it. My mother give so much of herself to the library and the community and I often felt that no one really appreciation. So Thank you for caring and seeing the good in my Mom.

Love you Mom!

I agree with the other ladies. Mae is a most gracious lady and a great asset to Monticello and Drew County.
Her warm smile and personality are a tremendous asset to the library AND the community. Always helpful and friendly, she is a jewel.
Never condescending, she makes a visit to the library more pleasureable. She is ever ready to serve her community and is a tremendous advocate for Selma, her home community.
I congratulate Mae on this well-deserved recognition.
I am very proud to call Mae my friend, my GOOD friend.

Mae Simpson is my friend too. I’ve gone to the library often since I retired and she always has time for a greeting and a smile. Mae and associates are very helpful and tolerant when I take my great-granddaughter in for a reading session and book choices. Abby and I will long remember our library, our Miss Mae, and our other friends there. Carrie

I totally agree with Ginger. Mae is a precious lady who is always smiling and very willing to assist others. She has gone the extra mile to help me on many occasions.
