"I want to thank those of you who participated in our International Diversity Day celebration for the past two years. People are still talking about how really alive our library became as a result of so many travelers sharing experiences enhanced by exhibits," Shelton said. "Our plans are to have everything set up and running by noon that day since some of our students will be milling about on their lunch break. At 12:45 p.m., our celebration will begin." Shelton said.
