Walk Away
So this is it. My last day. Thirty days goes by very quickly. Four weeks ago I gave notice that I would be leaving my position as Archivist and Reference Librarian (aka Queen of the Histolibrarianivists).
I’m usually pretty open about my professional life but I have been purposefully hush hush on this issue. Not because I have anything to hide but because I haven’t a clue as to where things are going from here. My husband was offered an opportunity to move forward in his job and I am following him to new adventures.
So it is with a mix of sadness and excitement that I offer the last installment of library day in the life. Just like yesterday, I have documented my day in the life of a librarian in pictures. This has been a fun project for me and I’ve enjoyed sharing my professional life with all of you.
Now that my career as a professional histolibrarianivist is on a temporary hiatus, I will probably be sharing more of my life as a wife and mom. Who knows?
As for my library life, I’m a geek at heart and I’ll find my way back into the stacks. Until then, enjoy the pics and continue reading about the lives of librarians.
