Phyllis James is retiring from the librarian job at Semans Library. Phyllis started working in the library 17 years ago when the library was still in the now Post Office building. She made the move along with all the books to the school shortly after starting her librarian career. The library held a coffee and delicious cupcake farewell on June 10. Phyllis shared some of her experiences and stories from the past 17 years. Callie Greenshields presented Phyllis with a card and gift card from the library board, wishing her a relaxing retirement and thanked her for her service as our librarian. Jay Holmes, on behalf of the Village of Semans, presented Phyllis with a gift card. Several friends and board members stopped by to wish Phyllis well. Alicia Mann will be the librarian starting in July.
