Strength in Reserve (and Periodicals too)

Yesterday, the Libraries had to shut down quickly, and so many people helped to make this work. Thank you!

Thanks to Maggie who faithfully attended to the Reserve desk til the end yesterday and Brandon who valiantly scoured teh basement to make sure each and every patron knew about the closing. Thanks to Charlie and Darin V. who were here bright and early on this blustery morning to greet patrons. I am so proud of how everyone has contributed to providing great service over this past week of severe weather.

The following is a note from Jerrie Bayer, conveying all our appreciation:

I wanted to thank our student workers for the assistance you provided yesterday in notifying staff and students of the official closing and in clearing the buildings. While some of us anticipated that an announcement would be made, in reality we had only a short period of time between the official announcement and the time the buildings needed to be cleared and staff notified to leave or not come into work.

Thank you for staying until the end to help out. We pulled together and got everything shut down and the buildings cleared. I appreciate all you did.

Thanks. And, thank you to all of you who made it into work this morning to ensure our services opened and available to our users.
