LIAM THE LIBRARY DOG AT MCMASTER IS RETIRING.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORIES OF LIAM.



Hey Everyone. My name is Liam and I have been working in the McMaster Libraries for four years. I hope we’ve met during one of my visits with Leanne Romane, my human companion and fellow librarian.

I have loved meeting and working with you. Coming to campus is the BEST part of my week. However, I am getting older and slowing down. As sad as it is, I need to retire from McMaster after this term.

I would really love to hear your stories of the times we have spent together. Can you friend me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/liam.a.mac) and share stories and photos of the times we have spent together? I am on Instragram and Twitter too!

As a retirement gift, it would be great to hear what our time together has meant to you!

You can hash tag your stories:

The folks involved in Dogs at MAC are also want to hear your stories. If you want to speak with them about what Liam at MAC has meant to you, they would really like to connect.

You can reach them through my email:

They are planning to do short interviews and focus groups with students about their experiences with me. We hope to collect and share the stories to recognize the work I have done in the libraries.

Friends of Dogs at MAC.

A local organization, Zachary's Paws For Healing (ZPFH), helps people bring their pets into the hospital for visits with patients who want to spend time with their companion animals. On July 16th ZPFH is organizing a fund raiser fair on "Picking a Pet". They need volunteers to help with the event. I was hoping some of you might be able to lend a hand/paw. Information on the event is below. If you can help, please send me a message. Thanks.
