Congratulations to Laura Buck on her retirement! Her last day in the office was January 31^st (sob…gasp….). While she did not want a party, we want to thank her for her many years of joyful service to the University!

Laura began working for the Libraries in 1989, starting at the Health Sciences Library and moving to the Veterinary Medical Library in 1999. In 2019, she received a Dean’s Impact Award from Dean Carolyn Henry for her many contributions to the College of Veterinary Medicine. Over her career, Laura saw an incredible amount of change in how libraries operate. But no matter the process or the technology, she always had the needs of the students, faculty, and staff foremost in her mind.

We miss her already, but we are so excited for her! She’ll be able to visit her adorable twin grandsons more often and do whatever she wants whenever she wants.

And, thanks for your patience and understanding while the veterinary library is short-staffed.

Cheers,
Kate Anderson and Sue Giger
