Reserve Reading Room Inauguration

October 6, 2009

The Office of the Provost and the University Libraries held an inaugural reception to celebrate the opening of the renovated Reserve Reading Room.
The reception took place on September 30, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. and started with a welcome note addressed by the University Librarian Mrs. Helen Bikhazi. This was followed by speeches by Provost Ahmad Dallal and President Peter Dorman.

A brochure featuring the room, its furniture and specifications was distributed to guests at the entrance.

The inauguration of the Reserve Reading Room coincided with Mrs. Bikhazi's last day of service before her retirement. Ms. Hala Sayegh, representing librarians and staff, said a few words of tribute and offered a bouquet of flowers to Mrs. Bikhazi wishing her all the best in the years to come.

After a quick tour of the premises, guests were invited to a cocktail at the terrace of the Reserve Reading Room.
