Best wishes on your well-deserved retirement! Sherman County Public/School Library staff and library board would like to express our sincere thanks for the many years of support that you and your staff have bestowed on our small community. Sherman County was one of the last communities in Oregon without a public library and you were instrumental in providing support to establish a school/public library in 1997, then later in 2009 when we opened a brand new 7,700 square foot library! You always treated us with respect and encouragement even at times when we didn’t always know what we were doing but were working hard to make things work without a Media Specialist. Your enthusiasm for library service to all residents of Oregon has been infectious, in a very good way. Good luck to you. We extend an open invitation to you and Ann to visit us anytime.

Thanks so much Arla and Jeanney and Judy. I will always have a soft spot for your library for the reasons you mention. A lot of credit goes to Mike McArthur for his leadership as County Judge at the time. He was determined to not have Sherman Co. be the only county in Oregon without a public library. Not only did we get a library going, today you have a GREAT library going with a beautiful building that is one of the best small public library facilities in the state. Way to go! Keep it up. Ann and I will visit you one of these days.
