On June 11, 2009 Dean Sharon Bostick presented Cathy Cook, Library Information Specialist, with a crystal clock to commemorate 30 years of service to UMKC Libraries.

Reflecting on her time at Miller Nichols Library, Cathy said that she has enjoyed working at the library very much. She also shared that she has held another job even longer; she has worked part-time at Barnes and Noble for over 35 years! The celebration continued over lunch and (Cathy’s favorite) Minsky’s pizza. Congratulations and many thanks, Cathy!
