Cook book cover, recipes, and corrections page.

"A library staff cookbook created to commemorate the 25th anniversary of UW? Esther Millar recently donated all her old files to the Archives, and we’re finding all sorts of interesting things! We received two copies of this, one of which has a “do not remove from library office” sticker. I note that it seems rather well-thumbed compared to our other copy…Also note the rather long list of errata, some of which could prove rather game-changing!" Submitted by Martha Lauzon.

Certificate made out to Waterloo University of Serials Department Library.

Another find from Esther's collection! "This certificate was hand-written, so it wasn’t some automated last-name-first glitch turning “Library, Waterloo University, Serials Department” into the monster you see before you. In other news, when’s the last time the Serials department got a certificate for anything?" Submitted by Martha Lauzon.

Silhouettes of geese wearing colourful party hats.

"When I arrived at work on Wednesday (July 29) I saw that my office was decorated for my birthday. I was quite impressed with the collage of geese with party hats on that adorn the wall." Submitted by Patrick Miller. Happy birthday, Patrick!

Sharon Lamont's family in the stands at a baseball game.

"I’m a bit late but in case you carry the vacation theme to next week, here’s a pic of me with my some of my family at a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game last week.  We enjoyed a lovely week together at a retreat centre in Pennsylvania. I hope you are all having a wonderful summer too." Submitted by Sharon Lamont.
