Rosa Thomas earned a degree in library science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She was recently recognized by First Baptist Church, Dothan, for 46 years of volunteer service to the media library, where she served as director.
Q: What can you share about your personal testimony?
A: It has always been a matter of Christ being in my life. I just don’t remember a time I wasn’t active [in church]. I joined the [Baptist] church in my hometown at about 11 years old in Blountstown, Fla.
Q: What can you tell us about the First, Dothan, Media Library?
A: We have an active children’s reading program. We’ve done everything we can to promote reading.
Q: What led you to serve as a volunteer for the library?
A: I think they needed help in the library, someone with a library background. When I first came to First Baptist, they asked me to work there. It’s been my blessing to work with so many wonderful people.
Q: How do you see yourself involved in the future of the library?
A: I’ll help her (the new director) and get her trained. She has some good people working in the library to help her.
