The University Libraries recognized two library employees for their outstanding service to our community this year with KARE awards. The KARE Award focuses on our Knowledgeable, Accessible, Responsible, and Empathetic (KARE) customer service values. Recipients are nominated by their peers and colleagues for their exemplary service. 

Congratulations to Alex Teal, emerging technology specialist, and Lois Tolhurst, cataloging coordinator, for outstanding work and customer service!
