The Central Campus Library added Room 23, a novel by Criminal Justice Technology Instructor Sean Quarmby, to their book collection.
Quarmby visited the Parr Center’s Hagemeyer Library on Nov. 20 and signed both books, one of which will be part of the main circulation while the other will reside in the Archives for in-library use.
If you’d also like to own a copy of Quarmby’s novel, visit Barnes & Noble and other bookstores.
