A celebration was held at the Osoyoos Branch of Okanagan Regional Library on Saturday for Kathy Burton, (second from left) who retired as head librarian in December after nearly 35 years at the branch. Friends and well-wishers dropped by to thank her for her years of service and enjoy some cake and refreshments. From left are Jeannie Randle, a retired Keremeos librarian, Burton, Mayor Sue McKortoff, Janet Marcotte, Allicyn Pyatt and Kara Burton, Kathy's daughter. The event was well attended and the cake had already been greatly reduced in size when the Osoyoos Times came by halfway through the event. (Richard McGuire photo)
