Hi Member Libraries,

If you have not heard the news, Angela Thompson, our Delivery Coordinator in Champaign, will be leaving IHLS on June 13, as she embarks on an exciting new chapter. While we’re sad to see her go, we’d love to celebrate her many contributions over the past 24 years and send her off with our best wishes.

We’re putting together a surprise for Angela to show her just how much she means to all of us—and we need your help!

Please submit a short video with your well wishes, memories, or a simple thank-you to include in a special compilation. Let’s make this something she’ll truly treasure!

✨ Important: This is a secret—please don’t mention it to Angela! ✨ If you would like to submit one, the farewell video is due by Jun 3, 2025, on the link below.

This link allows you to upload or record a video. If you have any questions or need help recording, just let me know.

Thanks for helping us make this surprise truly meaningful!

NOTE: If you are a library that typically contacts Angela directly, don't hesitate to contact us at the IHLS delivery help desk or call us 618-467-8683.

Best,

Colleen Dettenmeier
