Library Renovation Postponed

Due to a variety of constraints, the Administration determined that the renovation of the Library will occur during Summer 2010, instead of Summer 2009.

We look forward to serving our patrons this summer, as usual, from the Daniel Library. If you are teaching this summer, please stop by and share your reserve lists with Ruby Murray, your teaching needs with Kathleen Turner, and your resource needs with Kirstin Steele.
