On
August 31, Langsdale bade farewell to long-time employee Sally Laughland,
who retired from her position as Serials and Binding Technician. Sally
worked at Langsdale for (30) years, starting in Circulation and moving
to Technical Services later. Her cheerful, calm disposition and eagerness
to assist students, faculty and library staff will be missed. Sally is
looking forward to spending time with her new granddaughter Loren and
the rest of her family. We wish her joy and congratulations on her great
service to the Library and the University.
