Two of Pace's Favourite New Tricks Are Climbing and Jumping…

Two Month Anniversary

Today is the two month anniversary of me being at Regina Public Library.  Hard to believe it's been that long already but in some ways, I have to work to remind myself that it's only been a short time overall (I often counseled our new branch librarians at Southeast Regional Library not to feel overwhelmed […]
