3 May 2018 – Former Canadian Studies Librarian Linda Di Biase retired from UW Libraries this spring after over 30 years with the University. As Canadian Studies Librarian from 1988 to 2006, Linda helped to build one of the most robust collections on Canada in the country: UW Libraries boast well over a half million catalogued volumes, maps, videos, serials and government documents on Canada in English, French and Indigenous languages. The pictures that follow are from the retirement party including the tea cup tradition (retired librarians gift a tea cup to UW Libraries. Linda’s gift was her aunt’s teacup from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan).
