I have a little announcement- something you might have already heard. My post-retirement is going to be more like a semi-retirement. It's a good way for this high-wired gal to slow down but still stay involved in a profession I truly love. And it's a way for me to go home to the mountains.
I'm moving back to Colorado, back to the San Juan Mountains where I spent eight years before coming to KPL. I've taken a job as the director of a tiny library in a mountain town called Pagosa Springs where they are adding two wings to their small library- one for a program room and one for a children's room. There are only eight employees, only a couple full time. I'll be a jack of all trades- a tech person, the HR person, a CSS and an ICS. I'll help weed the children's garden and probably even help clear snow.
Pagosa is surrounded by national forest and sits on top of geothermal hot springs. In fact, the library is heated by geothermal. It's a place where elk and deer are everywhere and bears lumber through town at will. The Wolf Creek ski resort just north gets 400+ inches of snow and the New Mexico desert is just 35 miles to the south. In fact, the kids just over the border come to school in Pagosa.
I hope if you ever get to the Pagosa area you'll stop in and say hello. I'll be glad to see you!
