Rural Landscapes

At first glance, this post may seem to have nothing to do with prison librarianship. The rural, conservative, and isolated location of most prisons is something people outside the profession may not always think about.

Sheryl Will Be Missed

Sheryl, a long time employee with Washington State Library and the Twin Rivers Unit of the Monroe Correctional Complex is retiring. She will be leaving the the library after 15 years and 5 months with the inmates at Twin Rivers. Sheryl is a woman of amazing energy that has been put to use running the Twin Rivers library and teaching the inmates part time in the education department. Where she gets the energy I will never know. Her dedication to her work is amazing and she will be sorely missed by all of us in the Institutional Library community.
