WSU Libraries is hosting a retirement party for Kay and Lou Vyhnanek from 3-5 p.m. today, Dec. 18, in the Terrell Library Atrium. Please join us in celebrating their combined 65 years of service at the university.
Kay joined the libraries in 1979, working first in the Owen Science Library, and then becoming head of the libraries’ interlibrary loan department in 1982. Since 2006, she has played an important role as the scholarly communication librarian as the libraries moved further into digital collections and preservation.
Lou came to WSU in 1984, serving as the history librarian and being involved in collection development throughout his career. He has been the collection manager for the humanities and social sciences for many years, and his contributions there will be missed.
We appreciate and recognize their many contributions to the libraries, to WSU and to the profession through their active participation in the American Library Association.
