Such a touching tribute to an amazing woman! I am so proud of you for following your dream of being a librarian: from completing library school at Simmons, to director of the Sunderland Public Library, to leading the community of Kingston for 29 years in the development of their library and library services, to being awarded an honorary doctorate degree in construction and facility management! Best wishes and I love you.

What does one say after 29 years? Thank you for allowing me to grow as an employee and a person. For using my strengths and strengthening my weaknesses, you have taught me well. I hope to carry on the top-notch customer service which you instilled , though I still struggle with accounting 😁 Continue living a joyful life ❤️

We no longer live in Kingston but still have ties to the town we loved. And we can see how the library has grown and become a most valuable asset. Well done, Sia.

Sia, Thank you for your ever positive, ever creative style as steward of our library!

Congratulations! And the spirits of all the Stewart book lovers past join in the felicitations!

Dear Sia, What a beautiful tribute from so many of your grateful friends and KPL associates! We all admire your gifted talents, warm heart and caring soul. It’s an honor to call you “Friend”. Best wishes in your retirement wherever you decide to call “home”. Happy trails! 👍 Den

I had the honor of serving on the KPL Board of Trustees and where I had the opportunity to get to know you and work with you. Time and again I was amazed at your relentless pursuit of innovation in delivering the library and information services to the town of Kingston. I always left each trustee meeting feeling fortunate the KPL had you at its helm and knowing that Kingston was all the richer for it. Enjoy retirement Sia! Stay in touch!

Thank you for all your years of dedication ❤️

Many, many thanks for all you have done for this community.

Texting the world to let them know how wonderful you are!!!😘

Wishing you every happiness and the chance to do everything you've been dreaming of doing, Sia. Be happy!! 💝

Best of wishes Sia, in your future endeavors
