The library has received a couple of gifts in the past month: a $10,000 donation from Paul and Mary Ann Roberts to their book endowment fund, and a $4,000 donation from Frederick and Maria Sterk to the Friends of the Library Fund.
Congratulations to everyone who made tenure or received a promotion this past month:

Chris Petersen (SCARC) has earned a promotion to Senior Faculty Research Assistant II.
Tiah Edmunson-Morton (SCARC) has earned a promotion to Senior Instructor I.

This Wednesday (June 5th) from 4-5:30 p.m. is the State of Diversity Address in the MU Ballroom. If you can’t make it in person, then know that the event will be livestreamed so you can view it from the comfort of your office.
If you haven’t already, take a moment to check out the main-entrance kiosk as you come in the library. We have several READ posters of our student employees on there, and they look great!

Answers can be shared with colleagues and guessed among the office. Last month’s pup, Finn, lives with Tom Booth and his family.
