The Library Staff Association would like to thank all of those who donated their time and blood to the BLSA/LSA Blood drive. Thanks to you we had another successful blood drive during a time of low blood supplies at the Blood & Platelet Center.
Make sure to keep an eye out for the LSA Fall Book Sale dates. We will be posting them soon.
