Do you need to do some research and don’t know where to begin? Are you new to campus and wish to have a library tour?

Library Director Retires

After 27 years of service devoted to the University and the Library, Ms. Lillian Crook, Director of Stoxen Library, announced her retirement today effective August 10th. During her six year tenure as Director, the Library has been transformed into an information commons with increased services and patron usage; the Common Grounds coffee bar opened; and the Heart River Writer's Circle was created and enjoyed by many at DSU and within the community. We sincerely appreciate the contributions Ms. Crook has made to Dickinson State University and wish her well in her future endeavors. A retirement farewell celebration will be scheduled in mid September and I hope you all can attend to express your best wishes to Ms. Crook personally.

In Ms. Crook's absence, Ms. Rita Ennen has been appointed as the Interim Director of Stoxen Library effective August 13, 2007. Questions regarding the operation of the Library or services available should be directed to Ms. Ennen.

Rich Brauhn,
Vice President for Academic Affairs
