Visiting Area Librarians

The seniors who are taking English 4 this semester met with Susan Wood from NHCPL, Melissa Raymer from CFCC and Beth Kaylor from UNCW.  The librarians came in to discuss how to access and use the materials in their libraries.  The sessions are held each semester to encourage students to make use of all of the resources that are available to them when doing their Graduation Projects.
