Librarian's Corner
Late November 2024
As always at this time of year, I’ve got the opportunity to look back on what I’m thankful for, and this year is no exception.
First and foremost, I’m thankful for Margarete and Amanda, and all that they do for the Library. The Library would not be able to function without them, and I certainly would not have been able to do anything without them. They’ve made my time at the Library easier, and more pleasant than anyone can imagine.
I’m thankful for the Board of Trustees, who trusted me with the Library and let me spread my wings and make my mark. Their unwavering support has uplifted me in my job. And really, I think they should get a bit more thanks in general; their work is so much behind the scenes, I’m not sure everyone knows just how much work they do for the Library.
I’m thankful for the time that I’ve been able to spend in Freedom. As I constantly gush, this is a special community, and I have always felt welcome here. I’m blessed to have been able to serve this community, and I hope that I’ve left it a little better.
I’m thankful for the new opportunities that lie ahead of me, both known and unknown. I’m still living and learning and growing, and I certainly hope that I never stop doing so. A new chapter means a blank page to fill in however I see fit; the adventure awaits.
I encourage everyone to reflect on things that they’re thankful for this season. And I hope that the Library is somewhere on everyone’s list, even if it’s not at the top. Have a safe and happy holiday season, everyone.
