As you might know, we are hiring a permanent director of the library.  We have three promising candidates, who will be interviewing with the search committee, and then giving a presentation on the afternoons of May 27-29 from 1:45-2:45 in the Collaborative Learning Classroom 4214.  There will be time after for questions.

I’m writing you because I think it’s important that you have a voice in who your new library director is.  We hope to select a director whose vision jibes with your teaching and learning philosophy.  Please consider attending the presentations and filling out the feedback cards.
