Radnor Lego Club

Lego Club will continue, I promise

2011-10-20T15:15:00.001-04:00

Today is my last day at Radnor Memorial Library. I'm so thankful that Dorothy Carlson hired me five years ago while I was still a library student. She guided me and was a tremendous mentor.
I have come to love all my wonderful, hardworking colleagues. And I especially love those who have come into the library seeking help with a title, enjoyed storytimes, and participated in our programs.
Change is never easy. I'm not one for long speeches. So I'll just say thanks so much to each of you who have touched my life. I hope I've helped a few wee ones love books just a bit more and brought some joy into your life. I know what I've gained is so much more!
Please welcome the new librarian (yet to be hired) with welcome arms and a big smile. let the librarian know you want LEGO CLUB!!
I'm going to Lansdowne Public Library, so if you find yourself in the area, stop in and say hi!
