I am pleased to announce that I have been selected to be the next director of the Menasha Public Library in Menasha, WI. I start in Menasha in late June.
I’m saddened that I will finally be leaving the world of children’s librarianship behind. It has been 15 years of wonderful times with kids of all ages. But, I will continue this blog, hopefully with some new faces on Menasha’s staff joining in as well. What would I read if I didn’t read children’s books? Adult books? Oh dear! So expect new voices joining in here and my voice continuing on. I will still be working on behalf of the children of the community I serve, just a little bit more distantly.
Here is the article in the Appleton Post Crescent announcing my hiring. I am flattered by all of the wonderful things people in Menasha are saying and hopeful that I can live up to it all.
