Scared? Check. Excited? Check. Must mean I’m starting something new!
I put in my notice today at my current POW (Place of Work), the Missouri River Regional Library, in order to move to Lawrence, KS and take the position of Director of Technology for NEKLS (North East Kansas Library System). December 21, 2012 (I never realized – that’s the Mayan date, isn’t it?) would have been my 14 year anniversary at MRRL. That makes this a pretty big move and makes the “scared” part of the headline understandable, I hope. Heading out to Kansas to help Kansas libraries with their technology issues and to support what appears to be a *very* forward-thinking set of member libraries? That’s where the “excited” part comes in. I may be quiet for a while as I tie up loose ends at MRRL and begin to figure out just what I’ll be doing at NEKLS, but I’ll be around on my social network sites, I’m sure!

From facebook@Letitia DenHartog: Congrats Robin! I’ve been praying for you every since you told me about this job possibility! You will be missed, but then I haven’t come by to visit that often lately anyway. Best of luck with the new job!

Welcome, Robin, to the great state of Kansas. I moved here from MRRL exactly 10 years ago and I like it out here. Hope to see you sometime. Remember Kansas Library Association conference comes to Wichita every other year. My library is right across the parking lot from the conference hotel.
Congrats on the new job. You will do great. I know that you will miss MRRL, for I sometimes still do.
