Dear Friends and Colleagues:

The synagogue where I am employed has decided to severely cut the librarian 
position down to 8 hours a month.  Needless to say, I will be leaving by June 
15 (maybe June 8). I was informed that they will be planning for a library 
commons or educational commons, but as is the case for many a synagogue, it may 
not include a librarian - or at least, not me.  Like a Hillel sandwich,  I've 
been feeling the sting of maror but also the sweetness of charoset.  The 
collection here is full of incredible treasures and I have been privileged to 
tend it and share it for 12 years.  Its historical legacy has touched many!  It 
will evolve without me and I will evolve without it.  I'm already embracing the 
next chapter!

Though I had planned to attend the conference, I have changed my plans and will 
not be there this year, sadly.  I know that it will be fabulous and I will miss 
seeing you all!  I hope to show up next year, if only for a day or a meal!  It 
has been a great ride and I will likely stay involved with AJL for another 
year. My home email is toby...@gmail.com in case you 
would like to stay in touch.

Kol Tov,
Toby

I share your mixed emotions. It was almost two years ago (where has the time 
gone?) that the school where I worked for 24 years moved to a location that had 
no space for a library--and no need for a librarian.
After packing thousands of books, hoping these treasures would someday be again 
used and enjoyed, I bade a sad farewell and embarked on a new chapter--or 
book--in my life.

I am sure that new and great things are in store for you!

Toby was a valued AJL member. She chaired an excellent conference in Seattle 
and continued as the National Conference Chair for several years.
The decision of her synagogue's leadership is not an isolated case. Every time 
when I hear of such decisions, I feel a personal pain.
I thank Toby in behalf of you and AJL council.
