This past week I gave a letter to Governor Sebelius to announce my retirement on June 1, 2009. This is something that my family and I have been contemplating for nearly a year and something I am looking forward to very much.
In Ecclesiastes it says that there is a season for everything, and after 35 years of working in libraries, it is time for a new season for me. I want to turn my time and energy towards helping my aging parents, enjoying my grandchildren and doing some gardening and quilting.
The past 4 1/2 years at the State Library of Kansas have been wonderful, and it has been in part because of all of you...the great people I work with on the SLK Board. You have been open to new ideas and endured many changes, and you have challenged me to learn and think. I'm very proud of the work we have done together, and as a result, I think we have made library service better for Kansans.
Marc Galbraith will be named interim in June, and I hope that the next few weeks can be a time of planning for the future and continued progress. I have no doubt that because of the dedication of all of you, the best days of the State Library of Kansas are still ahead.
Sincerely,
christie
