What I had been concerned about is now official. The new Board of Directors at Shulamith has determined that the librarian position needs to be cut in order to maintain the budget. The principal (a believer in the importance of libraries) who told me the news is going to request that I remain on the faculty for one day a week in the coming school year, but he is not sure of success. I know I am in good company, as librarians everywhere are seeing their positions eliminated. My efforts to obtain another position have not as yet been fruitful, but perhaps something will materialize now that there is no longer an alternative. Thank you for listening.
