-------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Map Staff at the Illinois State Library Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:04:53 +0000 From: Booth, Arlyn <[log in to unmask]> To: 'Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship' <[log in to unmask]> Thank you for your kind words, Harry. Illinois is losing TWO map librarians this month. Harry is also retiring at the end of the month. I thank him also for his long, dedicated service to map librarianship in Illinois and nationwide. Best wishes to you Harry!

Thanks, Arlyn! It is unfortunate that her retirement is coming in the manner that it is (retirement rather than needing to face a layoff), but let us trust that it is a blessing in disguise and will allow new opportunities to enjoy life outside the map library. Her contributions to map librarianship will be missed, but she deserves a very happy retirement. So may it be!
