Thanks I ****** This month we say goodbye to Doreen Sullivan, a member of the Library staff for more than 26 years and Head of the Reference Department for the past 18. Thanks to Doreen's dedication, hard work and out- standing professional knowledge (not to mention her ability to utilize every square inch of a cramped work area!)
