My library buddy Heather Kline is leaving tomorrow to find her fortune in New Mexico. I went with Heather to the Mountain Plains Library Association conference in Albuquerque this past March, and we had a lot of fun (though that’s a LOT of driving to do in 4 days.) I have been constantly impressed by Heather’s writing and grasp of metadata concepts. I think she’ll be a valuable asset wherever she lands- it sounds like she’s looking into a few potentially great possibilities – I have no doubt that she will find a great job somewhere.
I’m also so impressed with her attitude about the whole process- she’s moving to New Mexico by herself, without a job lined up, because it’s what’s best for her. I really admire that. I’m not so sure I could do the same.
Heather and I have had some great talks about library (and other) issues- we agree on many points, but disagree on others, and she’s made me rethink my stance a few times. It’s been great to have a fellow library student to discuss things with.
Anyway, this hasn’t been the most poetic post, but I wish Heather the best. I look forward to reading more of her blog once she gets settled in.
