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,

Congratulations on a career of service to libraries.

We’ve been lucky to have you in Oregon these years, keeping us in touch, sharing our observations and goading us on.

I hope you full enjoy your well earned retirement.  I can’t imagine that you’ll be silent, though, on the issues important to you.  See you in the papers!

 

 

Michael R. Smith

Director

Hillsboro Public Library

    Thanks Mike. You have certainly made a great contribution to Oregon libraries too. I look forward to seeing your renovated Shute Park Branch Library!
