After an incredible 35-year career in librarianship, including 16 years of dedicated service to the Mary and Jeff Bell Library, we’re celebrating Lisa Louis as she begins her well-deserved retirement on September 25. 💙📚

Since joining TAMU-CC in 2010, Lisa has been a leader, mentor, innovator, and champion for students and librarians alike. From research assistance and information literacy to textbook affordability, open educational resources, and transforming library services, her impact on our library and university community will be felt for years to come.

Please join us in congratulating Lisa on an amazing career and wishing her all the best in her next chapter! 🥳📖✨
