The Kelley Center for Government Information and Microforms is devastated by the loss of department head Esther Crawford to breast cancer. Esther was a warm, joyful, and innovative boss who was not afraid to try new things herself while encouraging and supporting others to do likewise. She was incredibly intelligent but never condescending and had the enviable knack of being able to ask just the right incisive question at just the right time. Her leadership, support, and friendship will be sorely missed.
The department is planning a celebration of Esther’s life on Monday, March 31, the day after her birthday. We’ll email details via LibStaff when planning is complete.
