POST FILE PHOTO Millie Zarambo waved as she and Jane McMichael rode in the parade celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Back Mountain Memorial Library in 1995. McMichael (continued from page 1) While she didn’t work with the children’s programs, McMichael loved small children, and took great pains to decorate the children’s area for special pro- grams. She also set things up for book clubs, said Martha Butler, library director. “She loved to set out the silver serving pieces. She took care to make it a special occasion for the book club ladies.” Other talents were put to good use keeping the books in good shape. “She was our resident book repairer,” said Butler. And, “she was very particular about the children’s books,” added Rudolph, even creating a “swinging pocket” to hold the date-due cards, which prevented them from being ripped by eager little hands. But perhaps Jane McMichael's most endearing quality was the attention she paid to other people. “She was very personable,” said Charlotte Bartizek, associate pub- lisher of The Dallas Post and a member of the library's board of directors. “She knew the little de- tails of your life and would ask about your kids, or what you were doing around the house.” Butler said she especially cared for the children who visited, in particular a little girl who's mother had died from cancer. Her co-workers saw this con- cern firsthand. “She never missed a birthday for other staff mem- bers,” said Zarambo, and not just to attend. “She would make sure we had their favorite cake,” even baking them herself in recent years. Her family has asked that me- morial donations be made to the library. Cookbooks would be very appropriate, said Rudolph.
