Well, I went to the library earlier today and asked one of the librarians on duty about volunteer opportunities, explaining that I am a librarian and have worked in libraries in the past.  She seemed enthusiastic, and gave me a job application!  It was a bit of a slow time, so both of the people behind the counter were asking me questions like what kind of library, what kind of stuff I did there, etc.  Neither mentioned anything about the resigning librarian, but I'm hoping their interest is a good sign.

One thing I have to mention is that they're very likely to remember who I am--after we talked about that, she went to check out my book and the computer system went a bit haywire on them.  Both librarians working together couldn't fix it, so they had to write the pertinent information down to give to the director later.  So now when I get the application back to them they'll probably remember me as the one who brought down the entire catalog!  (Any publicity is good publicity, right...?  ;D)

Thanks again, everybody!  You're been great, as usual!

Agreed, this was a good way to handle it.
