It's Official

Well, the board decided Monday evening that I will be laid off effective March 31. Thank you all for your kind words and support. If you have to get run out of town it's nice to know you will be missed. Not sure what is next for me, but I'll keep you informed. For sure, we'll have a party before I go! I'll let you know when.

Lucy Paras will be taking over the responsibilities of Teen Librarian. I will be working with her all month to ensure a smooth transition and you will see both of us at all of the March events listed below. She is looking forward to working with all of you. I feel good about leaving you in good hands. However, I feel sad about leaving you at all... :(

Let's make the last month a good one!
