Hi everyone, I thought I should send a quick note to share my good news
- since a certain job ad will be sent over the list soon. In May, I
will start my new job heading the Sloane Art Library at UNC Chapel Hill
(http://www.lib.unc.edu/art/).
Regarding the position at Virginia Tech - our librarians have great
benefits, including ample support for professional development
activities. The department of Architecture was recently ranked #1 in the
nation by Design Intelligence for its undergraduate program. Blacksburg
is an excellent town, in a beautiful place, filled with great people.
My husband and I have found that it's very easy to develop a close
community of friends here - especially if you hang out in one of
B'burg's local coffee shops often.
Just a few highlights from the area:
Down the road in Roanoke, the regional art museum is getting a new home:

Our town has a great farmer's market - good place to meet people:

Easy place for bicycling, hiking and walking. One of my favorite
in-town trails is the Huckleberry: http://www.huckleberrytrail.org/
Here's a link to a new local mag on the arts in B'burg:

So stay tuned - the ad will be posted sometime this month.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Denver!
