Our library director retired yesterday and our interim director started today. The biggest difference on the 2nd floor was the attitude; it was much lighter and there was a lot more laughter. The outlook is still pretty dismal budget-wise for the library department. It irks me that our fine mayor who has been a strong library supporter and proponent of literacy will not concede that it is time to raise the tax base. Just one lousy cent per household would maintain the library at its current budget! Stay tuned as this saga will continue until August.
Summer reading is up and running even though the damn database it giving me fits, but what else it new, it does this every year! But otherwise things seem to be going well---I even got some positive feedback from a few managers at out meeting this afternoon, which was pleasant change of pace.
Children's Center construction still hasn't started but I'm told we are still on track to re-open in the winter! Amazingly the floor was demolished months ago but we must wait for them to complete the L1 level before starting on our project. I know it will be here before I know it but it seems like it is taking forever.

Sorry I missed the festivities Tuesday. I forgot about Ingrid's graduation from 2nd grade. Was going to try and get by there right at 4:30p but just didn't make it. I heard it was quite a production. I also heard that M was conspicuously missing.
