HSL's Diversity Potluck on the February 13 was a great success as a way to celebrate our diversity through what we all love - food! The Library's new Diversity Committee and the Staff Appreciation and Recognition Committee asked staff to bring in family favorites, regional specialties, or dishes from our countries of origin. Staff flagged maps of the United States and the world showing their origins and brought in some marvelous costumes and artifacts which were on display.
