First off, a big congratulations to Sarah P. and Sophie...that is, if you can hear me from those lofty heights. Chris pisses and moans, but last I looked he stomped a good portion of the pool, including your truly this year. Hmph. Of course, I have an excuse. And here it is....
I was distracted this year by the fact that I was busy getting myself a new job. Earlier this week, I accepted the position of Executive Director of the Traverse de Sioux Library System headquartered in Mankato, Minnesota. I will be merging the aforementioned Regional Public System with the Southcentral Minnesota Library Exchange (SMILE), a multitype system. In other words, we'll be handling delivery, professional development, automation, innovation and advocacy for all libraries in the Southcentral nine county area. Once successfully merged, I get to show the Mn Legislature that it was all a good idea and get them to rewrite the funding statutes. I start on June 1st.
Yep, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
I don't have a new address yet, but I do have a new email address, which will overlap with my current one for the next few months. It is dzelen@tds.lib.mn.us.

Congratulations and Good Luck!
Some people will do anything to explain not winning the pool. My excuse is that I am a fundamentally fearful picker; no guts, no glory.
Enough about me- way to go Mr. Z! SLIS class of whenever we graduated is proud of you!
