<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><br>
Well today is my last day at the South Dakota State Library. Leaving is bittersweet as this was my first professional library job fresh out of grad school. Just over 12 years ago, I started as the greenest youth services coordinator there ever was and I depart
feeling quite well-seasoned. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I would say goodbye to you all, but fortunately (or unfortunately) you aren’t rid of me yet. On September 15<sup>th</sup> I will start in my new position as the Youth Services Consultant for the State Library
of North Carolina! I could not be more excited to start on this new chapter with lots of new challenges!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I don’t yet know if I will be attending the YALSA Symposium, but I do hope that I can so I will be able to continue in the work that we are doing jointly with YALSA. I also want to keep up my professional
capacity. If anyone needs me in the interim, feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:nolajazz@gmail.com">
nolajazz@gmail.com</a> or find me on Facebook if you haven’t already. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
