As I write this I am in the process of being laid off by the Yosemite Community College District due to budget cuts. My last day is scheduled to be April 29th, 2011, therefore I will be unable to update this blog and this is likely my last post. I've enjoyed writing about the items in our collections and sharing them with our patrons and the world via this blog.
See you in the library -
