Mrs. Hawkins has been at Ponderosa since 1989. She began working at El Dorado High SChool in September of 1988 but quickly realized Ponderosa was the place to be! She graduated from CSU Chico with a BA in Psychology in 1973. When she first started working in the library it was about 1/3 of it's current size. Overdue notices were run on an Apple IIe on continuous computer paper. We also used a card catalogue to look up books. There were no barcodes on the books. She's been married to her husband Jim for 42 years! They have 2 sons, both PHS grads and now 2 wonderful grandchildren.
