SUNY Delhi has a few staffing updates to share:
Katelyn Baroody has left us to move back to New Orleans, and has taken on a Head Librarian role at Nunez Community College.
We are pleased to announce that we will be welcoming Sarah Meisch-Lacombe to Delhi in October in the role of Outreach & Assessment Librarian.
Jenny Collins will be out on leave for the fall 2021 semester.

The library will be getting a new elevator (yay!), however it will necessitate the old elevator to be non-operational for about 2 months during the semester beginning Sept. 27th (boo!).

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2021 Annual conference, we hope you enjoyed your taste of Delhi, and that one day you get to visit us in person!

Respectfully,
Carrie Fishner
