On Wednesday, The Ames Library and Illinois Wesleyan celebrated 12 remarkable years with University Librarian Karen Schmidt, who retires this year. We honored her with donations of children’s and young-adult books to the Book Bike. Thank you for the many positive differences you’ve made to this campus and in the lives of countless students, Karen!
