I am finally back online! It is over 2 months since my stuff left Gander and over a month since I left Newfoundland. My work here is VERY interesting and challenging! The only part of this which is missing is my dogs. Harley and Emmie are still on my sister's farm near Minnesdosa, Manitoba. I wish I could go and visit them but right now that isn't possible. I am hoping that will change soon tho - Maybe in the fall. In the meantime it is Nunavut Day here which celebrates... Nunavut. So have a great day everyone and I'll be in touch!

Well my big news is that I will be moving to Nunavut in about a month to assume the position of Manager of the Nunavut Public Library System. This is a very exciting opportunity. I will be leaving Gander to live in Baker Lake which is roughly 500 km north of the Manitoba border. It is not quite at the Arctic Circle but fairly close to it.

The NPLS is composed of 11 branches serving the population over an area of approximately 2 million square kilometers. I am quite excited about this as it will be a good career move but also a good opportunity to implement some of the new social technologies which are being adopted by libraries in the south. Also the people I have talked to in the government of Nunavut have been very friendly and positive about the position and appear to be looking forward eagerly to my arrival. I am so very excited!

I will be extremely sorry to leave Gander and Newfoundland. I have created a wonderful home here and met many wonderful people. Mark and Anne Maire, Elaine, Natalie, Susan, Glenda, Howell and too many others to mention. But this is too good an opportunity for me to pass it up.

As it stands I finish up here on April 30, 2007 and will begin with the NPLS on May 16th so there are lots of things to do in the meantime such as getting Emmie spayed so that I won't have any little accidents!
