Where can you find the best view at City?

Library Staff Love #9: GSLC

Here’s a thing. We try not to use abbreviations unnecessarily because unless you know what they stand for it can be really unhelpful. But, OMG can they be fun too, especially if you’ve got a GSOH (IMHO). They’re also ubiquitous in our everyday lives. Do you live on a ‘Ave’? When was the last time…Continue Reading Library Staff Love #9: GSLC
