   A special collection of books has been created in honor of the memory of Christina Melville Huff,  our much beloved Library Assistant who passed away unexpectedly this past May, 2011.    These works cover many of the subjects that Christina held dear, from the history of the British Isles and the Catholic Church to politics, cooking, and soccer.  We wish thank everyone who contributed towards this collection in honor of Christina.   The books are currently on display in the Periodical Room of the Jonathan Edwards Library.   Included in this collection are the following titles,  all available to patrons as part of our lending library:

  1. Would you provide information about donating to the foundation that purchases the books for the Christina collection?

  2. This collection truly represents my sisters diverse interests. Will be checking out Stephen Kiernan’s Authentic Patriotism from my local library. How precious of you to remember her with such class!
