ALA@Wayne is excited to be visiting the Troy Public Library on Sunday, November 3rd at 11am. Before the library is open, Cathy Russ, the TPL director, will show us around the library and after we will have a discussion regarding librarianship and other administrative responsibilities. Cathy Russ is an adjunct professor at Wayne State SLIS and has been honored as the Schools Distinguished Alumna for 2013 (https://www.troymi.gov/Resources/PressReleaseDetail.aspx?TPLDirectorHonored.htm) as well as other awards that have been attributed due to her diligent librarianship. I am very enthusiastic to spend time with her at the library.

We will begin the tour exactly at 11am. If you have questions please email me at scott.jankowski@wayne.edu.
