Ten ExtraordinaryYears: a Celebration

Marjan Petty, Libraries Development Office Now ten years old, the Kenneth S. Allen Library Endowment has been an extraordinary boon to the University Libraries in meeting the needs of faculty, students, scholars and members of the community. It has enhanced the Libraries' collections, strengthened services, and created new programs. To commemorate the gift of this endowment, a celebration was held in February with Faye Allen, Paul Allen, Jody Allen Patton and Brian Patton, as well as Nettie and Allen Israel, who played an important part in the creation of the endowment.
