A New Day

Well, Hello & Welcome!

I'm not sure if my musings will be of any interest to anyone but me, but here goes!
Today is the first day of not only of the Blog, but my work has merged with another. This means new assignments, and new opportunities! I look forward to both of these challenges.
Maybe there will be just Reference desk notes, observations, and library stuff, or maybe just other items of interest. One word of warning I cannot spell! So, please be kind ;-)
