Judy,
 
As mentioned at the fall Board meeting  in Atlanta, they have a great 
gardening library in Atlanta that Carolyn Hawkins  has a connection with.  Worth 
exploration with Carolyn.

Hello All,

am sorry to report that  Tracy Plotner will no longer be able to
ontinue as
he AIS Librarian, due  to health issues.  I suspected that this
ight be the
ase when I  heard at the Fall Board meeting that her health was
ot good, so
ave had  "feelers" out for a new librarian in  the
ilverton/Salem/Portland
rea.  Tracy and Will have also been  looking. So far
o one has stepped up to
ay "I'll do it."

o for  the time being, the AIS
ibrary is closed.  From discussions with Tracy  I
earned that all mail for
he library comes to her home.  She will  hold it and
hen it accumulates to a
oint, she or Will will take it to  the library where it
ill be stored until
e have a new librarian to file  it.

ll phone calls and emails for the
ibrary also come to Tracy's  home.  I have
old her that she should respond
hat the library is  "temporarily" closed.
ccording to Tracy, this is the
omewhat slow time  of year for inquiries.

f any of your know anyone in an
rea somewhat  close to the library in
ilverton, please provide me with their
ame and  contact information.  The
ibrarian's duties are as  follows:
*
eceiving and filing all catalogs and publications  submitted.
* Excess of the
ame catalogs are sent to the AIS Auction  yearly
* Maintaining the computer
og.
* Responding to inquiries
he  librarian's hours are very flexible - no
et schedule.  Tracy said  she
verages 3 - 4 hours a week at the library.
he library is located in  the YMCA
uilding in Silverton.  Tracy will be able
o "train" the  new person; that is
xplain where things are and how things
re  done.

f we are unable to find someone in the area of the library  -
ell, that's a
hole different ballgame as it may require moving the  library
o another part of
he country.  Let's hope it doesn't come  to this.

n the
eanwhile, we wish Tracy only the best and sincerely  appreciate her years
f
ervice as AIS  librarian.

udy
