We've suddenly lost a wonderful friend and colleague, and we know our community will share our grief.
Dawn, a librarian for 14 years at Barrett Library, was a fierce believer in intellectual freedom and equitable service for all patrons. Her quiet humor was a source of joy for all of us. It's hard to describe how much she will be - is already - missed.
Rest in peace, Dawn. We know you are reunited with beloved family and furry friends, and that gives us solace.

View Dawn Emily McManus's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.
