At the reception, Sul- livan also shared a hug with Donna Chandler, who initially hired her for a position in Reed- ley in 1989. They remi- nisced about all the fa- miliar spots in the old building.
Sullivan said she looks forward to the new facility that will provide.
"We're finding people are wanting more places where they can meet up with people," she said. "So that's why we're so in need of the meeting rooms and the areas where people can do more socializing.
In retirement, Sul- livan said she looks forward to doing some traveling and of course spending more time with family. But she'll remain involved with the library through the Reedley Friends of the Library.

Friends of the Library, she's been involved in the effort to get the city a new public library. The dream will finally became a reality – hope- fully within a couple of years — when the coun- ty plans to build a new facility on land between 10th and 11th streets, just south of the Kings Canyon Unified School District building.
"I'm looking forward to the new library," she said, adding with a laugh "Ever since I've been here, they've been talk- ing about building a new
library. For 25 years, we've been at the top of the list."
Sullivan said she's always had a love of reading and going to the library. Her work with libraries stretched back to her college days at Fresno State, when Henry Madden (now the namesake of the univer- sity's library) was librar- ian at the school.
"I grew up in Clo- vis and would go to the old library, which was a Carnegie library," she said, adding with a laugh. "I lived there be- fore it was a way of life."
