A FOND FAREWELL... WITH MANY THANKS!  In November SUPLA library directors celebrated the upcoming retirement of our colleague, Roscoe Free Library Director Dr. Joyce Conroy. We have been working along with Joyce for the past 15 years and will miss her very much but look forward to finding her in the stacks of our libraries from time to time given her love for reading. Helen Rados, Sullivan County RCLS trustee, was able to stop in to join us in wishing Joyce well. (courtesy of Mary Paige Lang-Clouse, Director, E.B. Crawford Public Library, Monticello) |
