On Leaving and Letting Go: Preparing for a Career Transition

After three years as a youth services librarian in Wisconsin, I’m preparing to say goodbye—to the children who have grown up attending my storytimes, to the families who have trusted me with their kids’ first library experiences, and to the colleagues who have inspired and supported me. I’m moving to Minnesota, where I’ll be teaching preschool. While it’s bittersweet transition, I know that if I’m reading with kids, playing with them, and helping them explore the world, I’ll be happy.
