Kansas Wesleyan Faculty, staff and students had the chance to say goodbye to Angela Allen, Director of Library Services, on March 6 during an Open House in Stanton Conference Room.

Allen received her master's degree in library science from the University of Southern California and has been a part of the Kansas Wesleyan family since 2002 when she was hired as Associate Librarian. She became Director of Library Services in July of 2004. Her hard work can be seen in the expansion of Memorial Library. Allen is departing KWU to tackle the Head of Library Services position at the Salina Public Library.

"My kids attended Kansas Wesleyan and it is hard to leave, but I am excited about the change."

Many admire Allen's dedication to her position and feel that our university is losing a great asset. Terri Johnson, Associate Professor of Nursing, said, "Angela brought the library up to a standard of excellence that we hadn't had before. She is excellent at teaching students and faculty about the research options available to them both on and off campus. I'm really going to miss her."
