Jim didn't want a traditional retirement party. "Too many greenhouse gas emissions, not to mention unwanted calories," he said. So instead we are having a Virtual Retirement Party - carbon neutral and heart healthy!

To celebrate, Jim wants all his colleagues and associates to post a good wish, photo or a memory to this blog. You can even ask Jim a question. Jim will reply to every post! (Jim will be the only person able to comment on messages after they are posted).

And while you're at it, Jim hopes you will consider a donation in his honor to his favorite charity, our own Talking Book and Braille Services.

Please submit your message before Jim retires on December 30, 2011. Include your name at the end of your message.

Thank you for your commitment to libraries and the communities
that they serve.
 
I wish you much happiness in all of your new adventures!

    Thanks Stacey. I have so enjoyed working with you these past few years. California is so lucky to have such a creative thinker for its state librarian. I know it's tough, but I know you will hang in there and continue to be a great leader for California libraries.
