On Wednesday April 29 the Library Dean and librarians honored the dedicated library staff by presenting them with a basket of scrumpteous goodies from Harry & David. Since we all love to eat, we thought fine food was the perfect way to thank our hard-working staff for all they do to keep our library running. Without them we'd be lost!
