Librarian by Day

Bobbi L. Newman

This blog and the majority of my online activities, including Twitter, are on temporary hiatus while I attend to family matters. We suffered an unexpected death in the family last week and I am in Iowa focusing personal matters. I don’t know how long the hiatus will be, maybe a week, maybe two, maybe more, but I wanted to let my readers know I haven’t abandoned the blog or my online work, I’m just focusing my energy where it needs to be for the time being, on my family.

    Bobbi, my deepest condolences. I’m still emerging back into professional life after the loss of my dad in April, so I’m keenly aware of the immediate shift of priorities that happens when family matters arise. Take care of yourself, and be with your family. Your friends and colleagues will be waiting with open arms when you’re ready to refocus energy on professional issues.
