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 Jim!

Jim,

Thank you for your dedication to Oregon libraries! Your support of our District formation in Deschutes County has had a huge impact in our ability to enrich lives! Your vision for increased shared services helped lead to great cooperative services between Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook counties.

Thank you again for your support and encouragement!

Todd Dunkelberg,
Library Director
Deschutes Public Library

    Todd, one the highlights of my career was to watch your library go from one that was mediocre at best to become of the best libraries in Oregon. Today your library is a model of excellent services. You have great facilities and a great staff. Even in the terrible economy in your part of the state, you all have opened a much needed branch in Bend. Way to go! I also have really appreciated the Library Lynx project. I hope that it can serve as a model for greater public library and school library cooperation in the rest of the state. Thanks to you Todd and to your fine staff for all their great work.
