A Chance to Thank and Say Good Bye to Rivkah
Rivkah is often heard saying that she works with the greatest people so, of course, before she heads off to a well-deserved retirement, she will be visiting every single library in the system so she can personally thank staff for all they do.
Rivkah's Farewell Tour will commence in January. She will be coming to the North Highlands-Antelope Library on TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2022, from 1:00 to 1:30pm.
Chacha, North Highlands-Antelope Library supervisor, and the staff will present Rivkah with a picture book entitled Dear Librarian, signed by each staff member. Friends of the Library are invited to participate on the 11th. If you would like to sign the book to convey your thanks to Rivkah, please stop by the service desk during the library's open hours.
Rivkah has been a true friend and dedicated supporter of the Friends of Library. Please plan to convey your thanks and well wishes on January 11, 2022.
