A new season

As the leaves change and the weather cools, it is also a new season within the library.  Mr. Johnston's retirement means staff will certainly miss his steady leadership, dry humor and amusing ties, but this is also an exciting time as we welcome John Spears, a new Director who will challenge us in new directions.

In anticipation of meeting with the new Director, I am writing up a precis of the Department's programming and services.  What a pain ... and yet, it is exactly what I should be doing every few years in order to focus on where we are putting our energy!  The monthly reports or annual summary too often look at a our progress as small chunks.  It's satisfying to step back from this pointillism and take a look at the whole picture.
