Love the work done by the Library.
Good use of time and fun.
Great session. I learned stuff I did not know.
I applaud the efforts made by librarians to work with such
difficult groups.
Everything was useful.
Many students were struggling before this library session but
afterward seemed relieved.
Always a well organized presentation that my students

The library offers vital services even in this bleak economy.
