Cary Frostick Named 2012 Employee of the Year in Falls Church

Cary Frostick beat out five other nominees for the 2012 City of Falls Church Employee of the Year.

Frostick, Youth Services supervisor at the Mary Riley Styles Library, held 31 book discussions at the alternative Horizons Day School, 17 story times at the Shire School for autistic and communication-challenged, coordination of the new Early Literacy Activity Center from the Library of Virginia and a number of year-round programs for children and teens.

She will be honored at a public reception Monday at Cherry Hill Farmhouse. The award will be presented to Frostick that evening at the City Council meeting in.

“Cary promotes literacy, inspires the love of reading, and encourages learning and respect for diversity in the Library’s young members,” Mary McMahon, library director, said in a release. “She embodies the qualities and ideals that make the Library such a great place for children, young people, and families. The Employee of the Year award is well-deserved!”

Frostick is credited with managing the most successful Summer Reading Program in the library's history with over 1,200 participants in 2012.
