Librarians are honoring Pat Smith for her outstanding service to the library community.

Pat has been a mentor and a friend to so many who will miss her leadership and guidance. We have all learned from her, and have been inspired by her passion for our profession and community.
We wish her the absolute best as she and her husband David embark on this next exciting phase of their lives. They have more than earned this time to spoil their grandson, and eagerly-expected granddaughter!
To that end, we are raising money for a retirement gift. Half of the money raised will go to the Patricia Smith Endowment for Excellence (you will receive a tax receipt for charitable donation for this amount) and the other half will be used to purchase a gift for Pat.
These gifts will be presented Friday, April 21st at the President's Party during the TLA Annual Conference in San Antonio.
Feel free to pass this on to others who would want to honor Pat -- but please help us keep this a secret! Please do not post this to social media or share using email lists.
If you have any questions you can contact Walter Betts, TLA President, at 817-257-6100 or [email protected].
