Library staff works through snowstorms

To the Editors:

I applaud the Our Voice piece in the Feb. 20th issue of The Setonian ("Employees deserve respect for work during closures.") The efforts to keep essential services open for students is an important one deserving of our collective thanks and recognition. I would add one more group to that list: the staff and student employees who kept the Library open regular hours during the last few snowstorms - the Library is designated an essential University service as well. This is an important marker of our commitment to academic excellence, and so on our collective behalf, I'd like to thank these employees for their work during the storms.
