Sad news indeed. I hope you are able to not see this transition as a personal
insult, tho after 34 years it must feel like one.
Wishing you great success in whatever new position is able to take advantage of
your deep knowledge and commitment.

Gosh darn it, why did they have to go build that shiny new state-of-the-art
building and a year later lay off so many people? What is more important?
Thanks for the biz over the years. Best of luck. Let us know where you end up.

Hi Becky,
Sad, indeed. Why our profession continues to cut its AV professionals is a
mystery to me. The loss of knowledge and expertise is heartbreaking and it
is patrons who ultimately suffer, fed a vanilla diet of Hollywood
bestsellers because the replacements are often not film-literate. I
Becky,
While we've never met in person, you've helped me out on a number of occasions.
I'm wishing you the best going forward.

Dear Becky,
I'm so sorry! I'm very sad for you and extremely sad for your town.
Libraries should be the lifeblood of every town and it's terrible when such
cuts are made and experience and talent are lost. It's almost criminal when
this happens.
Best of luck with the search!
Best regards,
Hi Becky,
Why not try retirement? You sound like you did your best.

Good luck Becky, sorry to hear about these layoffs. I've enjoyed your
participation while I've been on VIDEOLIB.
It is with a certain hesitation that I send this little bit of sympathetic
magic, perhaps it can work some spells upon the bureaucracy in general.

Hello, all,
I am sad to report that as of August 19, I'm being laid off after 34 ½ years at
the Aurora Public Library, due to declining revenues and elimination of my job.
I am one of 21 such cuts, 11 full time and 10 part time. I hope to continue
to follow this list while I'm unemployed,
