From Newsroom to Classroom—And Grateful for Samuels Library

Published

on

I’d like to express my gratitude to the great staff and volunteers at our wonderful Samuels Library for their help with last week’s Writing Workshop. Thanks also to the Royal Examiner for publicizing the event in advance.

And thanks especially to the great participants who made the workshop such an enjoyable experience for this old news guy-turned-college-professor.
