I saw the following in the latest CLA e-newsletter...
"Retirement: The Sault Ste. Marie Public Library Board announces that Wilhelm Eisenbichler, Director of Public Libraries since 1993, will retire at the end of 2008. An effective administrator, Eisenbichler brought sound business principles and strong fiscal management into library operations. He is also credited for developing new revenue streams for the library, such as the Friends of the Library Bookstore and the library’s Bestsellers Café. Wilhelm Eisenbichler started his library career in 1978 with the Southeast Regional Library System in Weyburn Saskatchewan. In 1980 he accepted the position of Assistant Adult Services Librarian with the Sault Ste. Marie Public Library and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming Director of Public Libraries in 1993. For more information contact: Christopher Rous, Chairperson, Sault Ste. Marie Public Library Board (705) 942-3000."
...and it inspired me to put together the following very incomplete list:
A MOSTLY COMPLETE LIST OF LIBRARIANS WHO WORKED WITH SOUTHEAST REGIONAL LIBRARY IN WEYBURN, SK.
Brett Balon

I'll try to add to this list as other names come back to me or as I come across them. [Edit - many thanks to Greg Salmers and Ken Vaughn for filling in many of the names I didn't have.]
Why do I care? I don't know - it's just interesting to think of the people who've come before you and where they've ended up (two people on that list are now my co-workers at Regina Public Library for instance) as well as it being a way to think about how your own career path may develop.

Happy Anniversary

I'm writing this on October 9 but dating it as October 8 as I meant to write yesterday about my one month anniversary at RPL. So far, the first month is a blur but I'm enjoying it immensely - from the work I've been able to do to my co-workers to just learning about the organization itself (and the upcoming changes.)
I'll probably write more later but I've got to go change a diaper. (Trust me - I'd rather flesh out this entry!) |
