I took the final of L104 last night. I have learned a lot in this class. I put 5 in all questions in the Survey about Miss Kim's teaching. She has much experience in the library field and has much experience to teach. She is very kind, too. Although there are a little bit more homeworks but I think it is necessary for me to learn. I like to come to class every Wednesday night because I like her greeting and smile. I hope Miss Kim can continue to teach this class in the future (part time, OK?).
I wish you all the best!

I want to thank you for your strength and endurance in teaching Library 104.

I know that you have seen remarkable changes in your students and in the library field itself.

I don't like the word retirement so I will come and celebrate your new advocation whatever it may be.

Dear Joanne,

Thank you for sending out all of the job postings for Library Tech students and grads. I thought that was very thoughtful of you.

Dearest Joanne,

It does not seem possible that you could be retiring! I remember so well, sitting in your office in the "old library" talking about books and teaching! You have been a great asset to this college and you have been a wonderful friend and supportive colleague to me. I will miss your greetings and smiles on campus.

With respect and love,

Dear Mrs. Kim, Thank you so much for everything. I very much enjoyed my PCC Library technician classes and was able to go on and complete my MLIS. For three years now, I have worked as a librarian and everyday I look forward to going to work and helping students and patrons. Thank you for being a great example.

Hi Joanne:

Thanks for inspiring me to enter the library profession. Your library technician's class gave me a solid foundation that prepared me for library school--I don't think I would have survived UCLA without it. I'm glad I pursued libraranship as a career, as librarians create positive change in society by connecting people with information and resources. Best of luck in your retirement.

Hi Joanne,
I will be working on June 19th when the reception is going to take place, so I will make use of this blog to say hi and thanks for being one of my mentors. When I first started taking Library Science classes at PCC, I was looking for a new career, and meeting people like you helped me to decide to go in the direction of getting my Masters degree in Library Science. I am now one class away from completing my MLIS degree at San Jose State. Thanks again for asking me to be your teachers assistant. You are a pleasure to work with, and you are an excellent example for me and your other students to follow. I keep meeting smart and friendly people in the library world, so I know that I am making the right decision by choosing this career. I'm working part-time at three local public libraries (Alhambra, Altadena and San Marino), and everything is going well. Best wishes and good luck in your retirement.

Live Long and Prosper!

Love,
Chris Woods
