And it's goodbye from her...
What do you say when you're leaving after 19 years serving the community as Chinchilla Shire Librarian? Friday 9th December will be my last day on the job and it's causing a lot of mixed feelings.
Satisfaction - a lot has been achieved and I think I'm leaving things in very good order and well-positioned for the future. It's a time to see another generation coming on and bringing their children in to share the love of books and reading, a time to see how useful this new website will be to our staff and clients, a time to see how the library can offer clients an opportunity to learn and grow for the rest of their lives, and a time to see how our staff are enthusiastically continuing the programs and activities which have begun in the new library.
Sadness - it's the end of my opportunity to offer service and ideas in this capacity. It's a time to say goodbye to the many valued customers who have become wonderful friends over the years, a time to think of the many customers I served for years who are no longer with us. Time moves on.
Happiness and optimism - it's a time to move forward with my own life. There will be time for family and friends, time to chat and time to share, time to do lunch and time to travel and read, time to play music and smell the roses, time to enjoy being a granny and time to spend with my wonderful mate of 36 years. Goodbye and God bless.
