As of Friday, I will be a two-fer librarian. Half my day will be spent at one branch and half at another. It won't be my current home branch either for each half day.
Major bummer. I've put in so much work at this place. Sigh. Now to put in so much work at another.
But am I? I don't know. It is against my nature to just sit around but it feels like things won't be kept up at the current place. I mean the staff will be lessened by one and only be here half time. There is enough time to maintain status quo but not really.
It is particularly sad since we just celebrated our 50th anniversary and here it is six months later. The library version of assisted living. No programs, no growth... that is my fear.
But it is not without hope. There is such potential here. I just wish and hope that someone grabs onto it and runs with it. Create something new and better.
Sigh. I hope.
Good day and dream big. I think that I am leaving it better than I found it. I suppose that is how I am supposed to leave everything.
