📚 Happy Retirement, Ms. Lou! 🎉

After 45 years with the Groves Public Library — starting here when she was only 17 years old — Ms. Louella Doucet has officially retired, and honestly, I don't think any of us are ready... ❤️😭

If you know Ms. Lou, you know she is always trying to "give people a happy." That's just who she is. She has spent decades making this library feel warm and welcoming to everyone who has walked through the doors, and SO MUCH (of what people love about this place) comes from her.

We are going to miss her SO MUCH, but we also want to give everyone the chance to celebrate her the way she would celebrate everyone else!

So, PLEASE help us give Ms. Lou "a happy"!

SHARE your favorite photos and memories of Ms. Lou in the comments! You may also stop by the library to sign her Memory Book and leave notes, pictures, or stories for her retirement.
WE LOVE YOU MS. LOU! 💟📚✨

Ms. Lou's impact will keep going for many years to come, and the library is in wonderful hands, beginning this Summer 2026, we are excited to welcome our NEW Director, Keilah Baaheth, who also started here at 17 years old.

Congratulations, Ms. Lou! We hope retirement brings you lots of joy, rest, and plenty of happy moments — you deserve every biit of it. 🥳

📚 ¡Feliz jubilación, Sra. Lou! 🎉

Después de 45 años en la Biblioteca Pública de Groves (empezó aquí cuando tenía apenas 17 años), la Sra. Louella Doucet se jubila oficialmente, y honestamente, no creo que ninguno de nosotros esté listo… ❤️😭

Si conocen a la Sra. Lou, saben que ella siempre anda buscando “regalarle una alegría a la gente”. Así es ella. Pasó décadas haciendo de esta biblioteca un lugar cálido y acogedor para todos los que cruzan la puerta, y MUCHÍSIMO de lo que la gente ama de este lugar viene de ella.

La vamos a extrañar TANTÍSIMO, pero también queremos darle a todos la oportunidad de celebrarla como ella celebraría a cualquier otra persona.

Así que, POR FAVOR, ¡ayúdennos a regalarle “una alegría” a la Sra. Lou!
COMPARTAN sus fotos y recuerdos favoritos de la Sra. Lou en los comentarios. También pueden pasar por la biblioteca a firmar su Libro de Recuerdos y dejarle notas, fotos o historias para su jubilación.
¡LA QUEREMOS, SRA. LOU! 💟📚✨

El impacto de la Sra. Lou seguirá presente por muchos años, y la biblioteca queda en excelentes manos. A partir de este verano de 2026, nos emociona darle la bienvenida a nuestra NUEVA Directora, Keilah Baaheth, quien también empezó aquí a los 17 años.

¡Felicidades, Sra. Lou! Esperamos que la jubilación le traiga mucha alegría, descanso y muchos momentos felices. Se lo merece todo. 🥳

We’re digging up the past!
Last year The Fire Museum of Texas and Groves Fire Department came to the library and gave an engaging presentation to our summer readers. The children were able to wear firefighter gear and take a peek into the fire trucks. We appreciate our firefighters! 🚒💦🔥
