ONE LAST TIME....September 28, 2019


I had to commemorate the very last book that I placed on a Library shelf.  After 35 years as a Librarian, with almost 30 spent at the Adrian Branch Library, I am moving on to another job, another adventure.

Naturally, the Dragons will be leaving with me (as if I could bear to part with the little rascals!).  After a brief sabbatical, the Library Dragons are likely to resurface in other places.  Be patient – there are a lot of changes taking place!

For the moment, follow them on Instagramfor new photos, as well as throwback photos that did not make it into the original blog.  There will be little activity for the time being, so feel free to revisit their posts on this blog, beginning with the first post from January 2014.  Leave a comment or two….a tribute to their new adventure-seeking status.

Thank you to one and all for your continued support and, rest assured, the Dragons will be back in action before too long!
