| The theme of the evening was
"Celebrating Multiculturalism," and
kicked off a new fund established by the Friends honoring librarian
and former CSC professor June Smith.
Over $4,000 was raised for the new fund, with several contributions
to other Friends endowments. June was a featured guest speaker, as
was author Sandra Benitez. June spoke of the importance of having
an international focus to one's life, while Sandra spoke of growing
up in El Salvador and read from her forthcoming book, "The Weight
of All Things."
Special thanks to Sr. Mary Virginia Mica,
who paintings graced the Library's Lobby, and who donated to the
Library the proceeds from the three paintings sold that evening.
Over fifty people gathered to enjoy conversation,
food, fabulous door prizes and a celebration of libraries! Below
are just a few photos from the evening. Thank you
to all who made the evening a success.
