I think having retirees in the group is great! We need their wisdom. Also - retirees (sometimes) have more time to explore issues in depth. We need their perspective and the benefit of their increased "thinking time". Besides that - retirees often go on to other occupations or volunteer jobs. that gives them even more to contribute to the group. STAY STAY STAY STAY!!!!

I have a colleague who is thinking of retiring and I am planning on retiring at the end of this school year. We would like to know if there is any reason why we should no longer be on LM_Net once we are retired. True, we would not be currently in a library position, but we both find the list very interesting and I know I feel as though all of you are friends and family. I also feel that, with our years of experience, we could still be helpful. Any thoughts? Is there any constraints on those who are no longer in a school position? I know I intend to do some volunteering, and since I have a grandson in school, would like to keep abreast of what is happening in schools. Anyone have the answers to our concerns? Please respond to me personally and I will be glad to post the list if there is interest in the results.
