The library gratefully acknowledges our recent gift of the book Gerontological Nursing . It was purchased through the MU Libraries Honor With Books program in memory of Marilyn McMullen, who dedicated her life to teaching and giving back to her community by way of volunteer service.
You can honor a mentor, family member, close friend with a book for as little as $100. Here’s how: http://library.missouri.edu/giving/honorbooks/
