Administrative Change
Dear ELF colleagues,
I am writing to notify you that I have accepted another job and will be resigning from my position with the ELF initiative effective the first week of September. Suzanne Flint, Library Programs Consultant with the State Library, will be your primary contact. She can be reached at sflint@library.ca.gov or by phone at 916-651-9796.
Over the past two years ELF libraries throughout the state have accomplished many innovative early learning services, programs, and products for caregivers and families with young children. I commend you for the good work you have done and have yet to do for California families. In FY2008-09, ELF will continue to provide support and offer more opportunities for libraries to share information and take advantage of training opportunities.
It's been a great experience working with you and sharing in your enthusiasm, talent, and commitment. I am continually impressed by all you accomplish and the significant impact that you make in your communities. Your generous spirit contributed to many ideas crossing disciplines, departments and library jurisdictions. I and many libraries have benefited from your openness and willingness to not only share what is working, but to challenge the norm and identify issues that are germane to our work.
I hope to see you at future library events and conferences and possibly collaborate again since I am staying in the library community. I will be working at San Jose Public Library managing their Partners in Reading Program.
I've learned a tremendous amount from you. Many thanks.
The very best to you and the ELFers on your staff,
Judy

Judy has been a pleasure to work with and will be missed by our staff. Her enthusiasm at the October 2007 ELF training was contagious! Thank you Judy!!!
