When any staff member leaves my library there is always a going-away party and going-away book, two very nice traditions. The book is chosen by the person leaving. It is purchased by administration and then circulated through the library so that everyone can write a note on the flyleaf. A bookplate is added, the book is wrapped and is then presented at the going-away party.
I am looking forward to receiving my book tomorrow, along with the cupcakes and milk at the party.
Here’s the book I’ve chosen:
Blossfeldt (Taschen 25th Anniversary) (Hardcover)
Hans-Christian Adam (Author), Karl Blossfeldt (Photographer)
ISBN: 978-3836504690
That is the most beautiful tradition! I hope you have a lovely going away party!
