Last month, the Kellogg Library celebrated its 50th anniversary. Officially opened on July 14, 1967, the library opened along with the Tupper Building as a major Centennial project and with the assistance of a significant grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation.
To mark this milestone, the Dalhousie Libraries hosted a reception in the library on October 12. Thank you to friends, colleagues, students and staff who came to help us celebrate and especially to our special guest and long-standing supporter of the Kellogg Library, Dr. Vivien Boniuk. Read an interview with Dr. Boniuk to get her perspectives on the impact libraries have had on her life and career.
