Moving On: library@orchard in transit 3/3

Part 1 is here, and part 2, here.

Jillian has posted about the “Unbearable Lightness of Being” which I guess is an apt description for the atmosphere at library@orchard now. Might not be that far off from how the Orchard librarians, Jillian and Lynn, are feeling at the moment either.

Anyway, the post is worth a read to find out how people are feeling about the closure (temporary!) of library@orchard. I’ll mirror the links provided, and let Jillian sum it up:

In the spirit of capturing the ephemeral and the lightness of beings, here’s a collection of links to the memories of the Moving On party as well as some reflections after. They come from: ex-staff, current staff, regulars, our citizen reporters, volunteers…
