The topper of a book tree greeted guests of the party.

To close out the year, Emory Libraries hosted a luncheon for library employees in the Matheson Reading Room on Friday, December 18.

The Libraries Holiday Celebration was catered by the Highland Bakery and also featured desserts made by LITS employees. Guests enjoyed chicken, salmon, zucchini, mashed potatoes, corn bread, collard greens, and more.

Yolanda Cooper delivered a short speech in which she thanked a room full of employees for their hard work during 2015.

The desserts were to die for.

The event was hosted by Yolanda and the LEAF Committee. This year’s LEAF committee members who were involved with the party were Courtney Chartier, Karen Garrabrant, Dawn Francis-Chewning, Kelly Kautt, Monique Martinez, Brian Methot, Ryan Nock, Jessica Perlove, and Dina Warnock Thornton.

Said Lloyd Busch, “Thank you for the fete and the feast! It was a pleasure, a wonder, and a treat!”
