Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
Here we are - the eve of my last day as a full time school librarian. It has been a week worthy of celebrating and I’m happily anticipating the day and the social mixer which will follow it. This excitement doesn’t mean that I won’t miss many aspects of my career. The connections with people, … Continue reading And so…
