I have been here for 22 years and worked in the field for over 35 years. This decision is totally my choice, and I am excited to plan the next part of my life which will include taking classes, volunteer work, learning, more family and grandchildren time, and AJL. Sadly, the school is not replacing me with a professional. The technology department will be absorbing the library space and program, although it has become quite clear that it will not be continuing in anywhere near a similar way. It saddens me that our excellent, current, and expansive collection of Judaica and general studies will probably fade away. Many teachers have approached me to express their disappointment in the school's decision. As seems to be in many cases, I don't think the administration realizes how important the role of the library is in our educational process. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the conference in Boston since school ends on June 20. It is important to me to finish my job and leave in the right way. Thank you all for your help over the years, your encouragement and ideas, and your ongoing support. I look forward to continuing to work with AJL and all of you, a very special group of colleagues and friends.
