I hope everyone who hasn't done so yet will want to get to know and visit and value their nearest local public library.

I'd also like to encourage you to read--or re-read--this most excellent document by my inspiring mentor, colleague, and friend, Mary Flannery Climes...

3/5

I'm grateful to have been able to invest myself in such a noble, selfless, yet substantial cause, serving our community, promoting public access to resources, helping people to find and discover things, and so much more.

2/5

These are just a few of the many reasons I decided, long ago, to make my career in public libraries.

As I reflect on my journey so far, I can say it has been incredibly wonderful, constantly educational, beautifully humbling, and spectacularly purposeful.

SETI's image should help us realize we're part of a marvelously mysterious, majestic, and meaningful macrocosm.

I hope more people will want to "read" this cosmic volume singing of our truly universal existence.
