In loving memory of Chris Crosby

In loving memory of our cherished colleague and friend, Chris Crosby.

Chris was the composer and musician behind “Just Cool” – the Turn the Page opening and closing themes.

Chris was a Media Services Library Aide, a Circulation Clerk, a Programming Clerk, an all-around great person – and so much more.
