Farewell

Today is my last day of working here at the library. I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed working at the library over the past few years. I love the ladies I have gotten to work with--they are all great! I will always remember the memories I have from working here. I love the people I have gotten to know from working here. I have become friends with many of you and I love you all! Thanks for everything!
