Shout-outs From My Colleagues
Shout-outs are kind words from Libraries staff to other Libraries staff for going out of their way to be extra awesome at their job.
Big Shout-Out to Sarah, Troy, Kate, Alp, Dre, and Kristen for all of the Room Reservation Product Team's improvements to the Room Reservation system. Every time I use the system -- which is not infrequent! -- I think "who made this system so much easier to use?!?" YOU DID! The system loads more quickly when you change dates and the filtering options. Your behind-the-scenes efforts are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

A big shout-out to the developers who attended the Accessibility Fix-a-thon in Feb. 2026! Together, we identified errors, fixed dozens (hundreds?) of issues, and helped each other troubleshoot tricky accessibility problems. Thanks for a fun and productive morning — and for your dedication to digital inclusivity!
