We want to take a minute to say a giant “thanks!” to one of our favorite blog post contributors here at Info Cafe – Tana will be leaving the Davenport library at the end of this week in pursuit of new adventures and we will miss her. She’s an excellent writer with a wide range of reading interests that has helped to make our blog diverse and dynamic. With over 120 posts to her credit Tana wrote, among other things, about “literary” fiction, non-fiction covering contemporary issues and many of the themed displays at the library. I particularly liked Tana’s series of RAGBRAI posts, written in 2008 starting with the July 22 post. They showcase Tana’s wit and good humor and are just plain fun to read.
If you’re lucky enough to know Tana personally, you know she’s smart and funny and cheerful and generous, all of which are excellent qualities in a reference librarian. And in a friend.
Good luck and best wishes always Tana!
What a wonderful tribute to Tana. She is a great person and a wonderful friend. I will miss her

We’re all really going to miss you, Tana! Thank you for your always enjoyable blog posts and for being such a great co-worker!
I am in total awe of Tana’s ability to give just the perfect amount of description and personal reflection on a book without giving too much away–TANA IS AWESOME!
sometimes I start shouting compliments when I get emotional…
We love you, Tana!
Thank you for your great work as children’s librarian, reference librarian, LP & foreign language selector and all the awesome book displays!
Hope you get as much joy from retirement as you gave us all at work! 🙂
Congratulations on your retirement Tana. I learned a lot from you in the short time we worked together. All the best!
You will be missed, Tana. Richest blessings in the days to come!
