In the spirit of Thanksgiving, SBU Libraries asked the SBU Southampton community to share what they were thankful for. Head Librarian Chris Kretz set up a “Wall of Thanks” with simple instructions, different colored markers, and Stony Brook University post-its.
Many things to be thankful for, as our growing Wall of Thanksgiving attests. Come in and post your note! #Thanksgiving #sbulibraries #sbusouthampton pic.twitter.com/YQqp1DJ5zm

We were so impressed by the amount of participation and outpouring of thanks that we couldn’t just discard everyone’s contributions. As a result, we compiled the post-its onto paper and scanned them for everyone to enjoy! We added commentary to these thoughts which are equally humorous, inspiring, and informative.

- Imagine all the people…
-
- Cats or Dogs?
-
- Where is there Taco Tuesday on Wednesday?
-
