Every month ByWater Solutions recognizes a librarian that has made an impact on their library and community. We are happy to announce the June 2025 Librarian of the Month is Alexis Tackett of the Midlothian Public Library (A.H. Meadows Library) in Texas! Tammy was nominated by Kate Lozyk of ByWater Solutions, who commented:

A true leader and innovator, Alexis has spearheaded both the successful opening of a new library and the implementation of Koha and Aspen - using Aspen not only as a discovery layer but also as the library's website to better showcase its value to the community. Her vision, dedication to modern and accessible library services, and commitment to community-focused librarianship are unmatched. Alexis is a vibrant, energetic presence who is involved in every aspect of library life, from operations and outreach to programming and strategic planning. She is an inspiring example of what it means to be an outstanding library ambassador."

Thank you Alexis, for all you do! And Congratulations!
