'Helpful, Friendly' Library Staffer: Guilford Local Hero

GUILFORD, CT — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we're working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Catherine McNulty who nominated Rob McCoole.

Name: Rob McCoole

State: CT

Hometown: Guilford

Hero's job: Assist. Director/Head of Reference at the Guilford Free Library

Reason for recognition: During the recent power outage many of us had to work remotely from the library’s front and back lawns. Rob was a constant presence bringing out and setting up tables, chairs, power cords, power strips.

One thing to know: He was so helpful, professional and friendly when so many of us were stressed out trying to work remotely from outside the library.

Thank you for all you do, Rob!
