We were all happy to participate in helping the library raise awareness within the Jkuat fraternity in whichever way we could. We've really appreciated the cooperation that's been there between the you and students in making this week a success, and hope this will be the beginning of much more to come from working together. Thanks a lot for the opportunity to offer our service
