ISSUE 3
FALL 2009
Welcome to the Nunavut Library Association News! Welcome to the 3rd issue of the Nunavut Library Association News! I thought I would take a stab at writing the welcome message to everyone.
It’s amazing that another year has come and gone so quickly! As I write this column, winter has arrived here in Cambridge Bay in full force. The snow is here. The ocean is frozen, folks are wearing parkas, and snowmobiles are once more growing in numbers on our snow-packed streets.
It’s been a year of change with familiar faces leaving us to pursue other endeavours, and new additions to our members’ families. We’ve shared in the achievements and recognition of colleagues, new technology finding its way into our libraries, and said goodbye to old friends (AACR2). We’ve made our presence known to the world through our new website, and the hard work of everyone who made it a reality. Our libraries have celebrated anniversaries, and continue to offer wonderful programs to all Nunavummiut.
This issue of the NLA is jam-packed with some great articles and photos. I’m happy to see all these fabulous works cross my virtual desk, and be able to share them with everyone.
Happy Reading!
