🦆💦 THE DUCKING HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN! 💦🦆

And who better to be the FIRST to get DUCKED than our very own Library Director, Craig Scott! 😂👏🏾 ( Yes the duck is 5ft tall)

In honor of the Great GPL Flood of 2026, we’re turning one unforgettable library moment into a fun new way to recognize our amazing GPL team!

If you’ve been DUCKED, it means someone caught you doing a DUCKIN’ GOOD JOB! 🦆💛

Craig officially kicked things off, but that duck isn’t staying put for long! 👀 See a coworker showing great teamwork, going above and beyond, or making GPL a better place? DUCK THEM!

After everything 2026 has thrown our way, one thing is for sure… GPL knows how to stay afloat! 😂🌊📚

A little appreciation. A LOT of GPL spirit! 💙💛
