Fantastic news, CONGRATULATIONS Matt! It is such a relief to know
that there is solid leadership at the helm of both NYPL and UC-Santa
Barbara now, with the recent retirements of Alice and Mary. I had the
pleasure of seeing and catching up with Alice in Boston this past
weekend at ALA Midwinter, looking forward to seeing Mary in June at ALA Annual!
