Library Student Employees - Class of 2008

Congratulations to our library student employees who are graduating seniors! We look forward to celebrating with you and any members of your families on Friday, May 16 from 5:00 - 6:30 p.m. in the Harmon Room. As part of our celebration, seniors selected a copy of their favorite book which will then have a plate included to acknowledge their work here in the library. A display of books selected by our seniors will be found on the kiosk in the entrance of the library. A photo display is also available for viewing. We wish all our graduating seniors the best as they embark on the next chapter of their lives.
