Mary Ryan has announced her retirement effective November 1. With accrued vacation time taken into account, Mary’s last day at the MU Libraries will be August 30. Mary has been with the MU Libraries for 41 years, she has been a part of many changes over the years, and it is hard to say good-bye. An Interim Head of the Reference Department will be identified from among the current reference librarians, and we expect to hire a one-year temporary librarian to fulfill the duties of the interim head. Please help us wish Mary a long and happy retirement.
