We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our Library Director, Dr. David Cox.

David dedicated countless hours to serving our library and our NMT community with compassion, vision, and unwavering commitment. Through his leadership, our library grew not only as a place for books and learning, but also as a welcoming space where people of all ages could connect, discover, and belong.

We are grateful for the lasting impact David made on our staff, patrons, and community. His kindness, dedication, and passion for public service will be remembered and deeply missed.

Please join us in keeping David's family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts during this difficult time.
