Maria Ortiz received AA Degree in nursing last month; library staff celebrated her success January 31 with a party
Yavapai Community College student Maria Ortiz has been using the Beaver Creek Library quiet room to study for her courses for the past two years. At times, her young sons accompanied her when she was accessing library computers and books. She received her AA Degree in nursing in December. In recognition of her commitment and success, the library staff celebrated and honored her Friday, January 31.
Beaver Creek’s librarians noticed Ortiz “come in to the library to study on a continuing basis for two years,” said Library Coordinator Beth Franklin. ” According to Franklin, Ortiz “has done some networking and has already secured a job with Yavapai County.”
“We are so proud of her accomplishments,” Franklin said. “Good things are happening in our wonderful Yavapai Free Library District.”
