We would like to formally express our gratitude to Allison Huff and Betsy York for their precise work in reorganizing the Heritage Center Library's collection according to the Dewey Decimal System. Their assistance was invaluable. It is indeed beneficial to have librarians among our acquaintances. We appreciate their participation in our Black History Month Celebration.
Thank You.
