Moving on….

Laura's headed for Colorado...
She’s moving on….
Laura Tretter has been the director of the Library for the past four years (she started the decade as the youth/assistant librarian), and has been pretty awesome. Actually, really awesome. No, awesomely awesome. Majorly so.
She just accepted a job at a library outside of Durango, Colorado and will be here till mid-July before heading over there.
During her time here, she has worked well with the Library board to keep the Library on a strong and sustainable financial footing, as well as connecting with every part of the island community – schools, service clubs, working folks, and most importantly, kids – and will be remembered as one of the most loved and appreciated members of our tribe.
I’ve gotten to know Laura pretty well through the little bit of volunteering I’ve done, and have been impressed that the sunny, positive person so many people know is the real deal – she’s genuinely enthusiastic about the Library & about life, and she has shared it with so many of us.
She’s going to be hard to replace, and much missed. Happy trails, friend!

Congratulations, Laura!! Colorado’s gain is definitely our loss. We will miss you!!!
Laura, So you’re moving from the San Juan Islands to the San Juan Mountains? I’m spending a month in Telluride visiting my daughter Jamie (1990 FHHS grad) and just last weekend we were camping in the hills above and swimming in Durango’s fabulous rec center. Lovely area, historic, sunny summers and snowy winters. If the Telluride library is any example, you’re moving to a “Library Heaven” region. May you have the best of everything. I’ll miss you, your wonderful smile, and all you’ve done for the San Juan Island Library over the years!
