Farewell to Elaine

Keeping Up With Kids

Most librarians in IFLS-land have had a chance to meet the lovely, exuberant, creative and wise Elaine Meyer, youth services librarian at Amery for the past…err…long, long time.  Elaine–after helping shepherd her library through some difficult times as interim director last year; after countless storytimes, outreach projects, grants, book groups, performers, book recommendations, and more; after adding her wonderful laugh and insightful comments to our workshops and meetings for decades–Elaine is retiring at the end of this month!

Best wishes to Elaine.  We’ll miss you in the library world!  I have no doubt Elaine will continue making a difference in the world, even as she has more time to read whatever she wants to!

Elaine accepts the Amery Mayor’s Award earlier this year
