Greg Shapton's Farewell Party

These picures were taken last week at our library director's farewell party. It was rather bitter sweet because we are glad for his retirement but we don't want him to retire!

Good luck, Mr. Shapton, and don't forget to come back and visit!

Because of arthritis in my knee, I can't come into work. Ms. Nissa will be doing the story times until I can come back. I'll miss you!! I'll keep you posted as to when I return.

Joke of the day: What car do kittens drive?

Answer: A cat-alac! ;)

Happy Birthday, Greg Shapton!

Oh yes, young Pomonans! Tomorrow is our Library Director Greg Shapton's Birthday. We celebrated it today and we had a great time! Normally Greg isn't shy, so I have no idea why he kept putting cards in front of his face. At least I got him good once before my battery died. ;)

He got many great cards about cats and about being old! (Good thing he has a good sense of humor!)

Joke of the day: Why can't your nose be 12 inches long?
Answer: Because then it would be a foot! ;)

Happy Birthday, Greg!

Greg's party was a great success! Bruce Guter, our Library Systems Manager and Allan Lagumbay put together a great video. Great pictures from the past came back to haunt him (especially one from the 1970's!)

Great cake and punch added to the fun. Staff from our Community Services came over to share in the fun. It was great to have them!

Happy Birthday, Greg, and many many more!

And in Greg's honor is a nice cat joke:

What makes more noise than a cat stuck in a tree?
Answer: TWO cats stuck in a tree! :)

Library Director's Birthday!

Great day to you, young Pomonans! Last week our library director, Greg Shapton, celebrated his 60th birthday. I know that sounds terribly old to you, and well I guess it is! :) These pictures were taken last year when he wasn't nearly so old. I'll take pictures today and let you decide for yourselves if he's "over the hill." :) I knew we were having his party today and I still managed to forget his card. Shoot! It's a really good one too.

Here are our weekly activities:

Monday: 12:00-2:00pm Come play at elf.

READ FOR THE FUN OF IT!!!

Joke of the day: Why did the little girl put ice in her Father's bed?
Answer: Because she like cold pop. :)
