Dear Friends, The year 2015 was exciting and productive for the UMass Amherst Libraries. We hope you enjoy this unique progress report, a customized deck of playing cards. Each card illustrates one of the many ways the Libraries fulfill our mission to support teaching, learning, and research. Many of these accomplishments would not have been possible without financial support from Friends like you. With most sincere thanks, Jay Schafer Director of UMass Amherst Libraries
