It's a time of thanksgiving for multiple reasons here at Dewey. Lindsay Van Berkom, the Dewey Library's Assistant for Library Operations is expecting a baby and Dewey held a shower for her on Thursday. Lindsay anticipates working for several more weeks, but we'll miss her for those weeks she's caring for her newborn!

Another scene from our Dewey Library birthday party. The University Archivist, Geoff Williams, gave a talk to about 50 attendees about the history of the downtown campus and the Hawley building, as well as the significance of Dewey's historical murals and stained glass windows. The party was held September 17th and commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Dewey Library and the 100th anniversary of the construction of Hawley Hall (the building where Dewey is located).
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Dewey Library and the 100th anniversary of the construction of Hawley Hall (the building in which the Dewey Library is located). We had a celebration party on September 17, this is the cake that was served. More pictures of the event in upcoming weeks.
