Get to know Orange County staff... The Personnel File:
Youth Services Coordinator
Michelle Pursel, our Youth Services Coordinator for the Orange County Library, just celebrated her tenth year with Orange County last month! She provides our monthly “ Library for Kids ” section (see page 23), and is very enthusiastic about the job. “[ I ’ m] especially [passionate about] the area of early literacy as it lays the foundation for language skills, cognitive development, and academic success, ” says Michelle. She encourages folks to come to “ library story time [because it] teaches kids to love books, promotes lifelong learning, encourages critical thinking, and it ’ s FUN! ” We ’ re sure you ’ re wondering … her favorite book is Uprooted by Naomi Novik.
Juanesta Williams
Support Technician
Michelle is a veteran of the Marine Corps. During her service, she designed the official squadron logo for MALS - 13 (approved by the Secretary of the Navy) and competed in the Far East Marine Corps Marksmanship Competition as a “ tyro ” (beginner) and finished as a double expert! In her free time, she loves outdoor activities like traveling, camping, geocaching, and more, but also loves puzzles, board games, and virtual reality gaming. This very month, Michelle demonstrated her puzzling skills by solving a riddle posed by our Parks & Recreation Director during our County Cup competition. Solving the riddle (the only staff member to do so, in fact) allowed her to guess the exact number of candies in a container! Keep up the good work, Michelle!
