> MEET THE Employee

Ana Santos - Library Technician/Director
by Paulette Burnard
Ana Santos’ parents relocated from Terceira to the US in the 1970s. However, due to family obligations, they moved back to Terceira where Ana was born. Economic times were rough on the island so her family moved back to Boston. For fourteen years, Ana lived intermittently in Boston and  Terceira.
How did you begin your library career?
I worked as a page, putting away books, in our high school library in Boston. Then I took courses on line before coming back to Terceira.  I started as a volunteer in the library in 2004. Before that, I worked as a securing guard in the Portuguese Terminal here on base.
Security Guard?
Yes, I was hired because I’m so strong!! No really, I was hired because of my English language skills.
How long have you worked in the base library?
From 2004 until now. In the ten years I’ve been in the library I’ve worked with some amazing families. I feel a real connection to them. I’ve seen kids grow up here and it makes me feel so good to know how much they love the library. I mean, little kids run up and say “Thank you” to us. I don’t know if it’s Lajes or what, but I sure like it when kids feel that they can tell us how much they love coming to the library. They come to read, use the computers, enjoy our programs and sometimes they come just to chill out.
I always feel welcome when I walk through the door. You and your staff are wonderful. Making everyone feel special seems very natural to all the staff.
It  is! I am so very lucky to work with wonderful people, now as well as in the past. Mr.(Bill) Niblick taught us so much. It was thanks to him that we were able to win USAFE’s Library Program of the year in 2012 and 2013. Even though he isn’t here anymore, the lessons he taught us carried through.
You seem to be able to run great programs without a lot of staff. How do you do it?
Volunteers!  They are so wonderful and important to us. Some Airmen volunteer and then bring others to volunteer as well. That is the good part of life. We have other volunteers too. It’s so satisfying to see people pull together and make something great happen.
What’s your favorite part of the job?
I love the library atmosphere. It’s a place to get help and I feel very good about being able to help  people get the information they want. I love to explore new areas and ordering books for for our  collection. I love all of our programs and working in a small community. I’ve learned so much and  I want to learn more. I love my job. I am very lucky.
