We are sad to report that longtime Library employee John Dreswick passed away Sunday, April 18, from pancreatic cancer. John had worked for the Library for over 30 years (starting at Central Circulation), and spent recent many hours keeping the 900s section of our non-fiction collection (geography, travel and history) in tip-top shape for the patrons. He will be missed tremendously by the Central Library staff, and especially by his friends and co-workers in the Shelving and Circulation Departments.
His obituary and funeral details appear today in the Washington Post:
