Welcome to the BLLA Jeanne Dubé blog. Please feel free to join us here and share your anecdotes or pictures in honor of Jeanne's remarkable service to our Library.
As a fairly new member of the Board of the Library Association I was struck by the warmth and generosity of Jeanne's welcome. This is of course characteristic of her behavior. Groups' individual members each play particular roles and Jeanne's is at least partly that of the "heart" of the Board. We are blessed to count her as a friend and colleague.-- Jeff Garnder
For several years Jeanne has been the Pearl Mesta of the Library. She has taught us how to be gracious hosts, serve tasty refreshments and provide seasonally and programmatically appropriate decorations. Upon occasion, I have taken a few shortcuts and always hope she does not notice. We will try to keep to your high standards, Jeanne. Thank you! - Daryl
Jeanne is just one of those people you know you can count on to do the best possible job on anything she chooses to undertake. And she really cares deeply about our Library in ways that make her presence always welcome. Thank you, Jeanne, for all that you do for the Library. Liz Weiss
Jeanne has been a wonderful colleague on the Board. Unfailingly kind and generous, she's been tireless in her support of the Library. As the most hospitable person in Brewster, she's not only been an extraordinary hostess but a warm and welcoming presence for everyone coming to the Library. Jeanne, thank you so much. Chris Kenney
When I first joined the library board, I attended a couple of meetings where Jeanne was not present. I was immediately struck by how fondly everyone else felt about this woman who I had yet to meet. Upon meeting Jeanne, it became clear why she was held in such high regard by those who worked with her on the board. Her devotion to the library and all those who work for it is patently obvious and an inspiration to us all. Anne O'Connell
Whatever she does and with whom she does it Jeanne always leaves you with the feeling that you have done something good. When we first moved to Far Fields Road over 12 years ago it was Jeanne and Paul who welcomed us with open arms and that friendship continues today. I know the library is a better place because of her involvement as is the Lower Cape Outreach Council and any other organization that Paul and Jeanne have involved themselves with over the years. Brewster is a better place becuse of Jeanne and we are better people because of their love and friendship. Valerie & Ed Lewis
How will they manage without Jeanne? Who will step into the breech? Whether it was leading the parade, writing a poem, or finding out where to plug in the Christmas lights...Jeanne was always there for the BLL. Hers will be a hard act to follow.
Looks like we might be the first to post about Jeanne outside her library connections. I first met Jeanne as a new member of the Orleans Yacht Club 9 years ago. She was gracious and kind and guided us through the "volunteer club" commitment we had made. She made it easy, fun and a great pleasure to get involved. The smiles of the Dube's are quite contagious. Jeanne and Paul, you have been great mentors to us and we wish you well. Thank you for all your smiles.---Paul & Judy Lindahl

Thank you, a thousand times,
