Hello from Thomas Cooper Library!
I hope this has been a good year for you. I've enjoyed putting together this newsletter and I hope you have found it to be a beneficial resource. Have a relaxing yet productive summer, and remember that I am available all summer to help in any way I can. I look forward to working with you in the fall.
