Today we said a bittersweet goodbye to our Adult Services Librarian, Ariel.
After five wonderful years at the library, Ariel is moving on to a new chapter and returning to nursing. While we are certainly going to miss having her here every day, we are so happy for her and excited for what’s ahead!
Ariel has brought so much to SEPL over the years including compassion, dedication, and laughter. She has made a lasting impact on our patrons, our programs, and our library, but even more importantly, she has become a treasured friend and part of our library family.
We celebrated her today with a little staff send-off, some good food from Smittys Pizza Co., cheesecake (à la Golden Girls), and one last staff photo with Ariel in it.
Thank you, Ariel, for five incredible years of hard work, friendship, and memories. SEPL is better because you were here, and you will be missed more than you know. We wish you all the best as you begin this next chapter. You deserve every good thing coming your way!
