“At the Garnett Library, we are deeply grateful to Florence James, owner of The Kloz Klozet, for her continued commitment to the library and our campus,” McKinney said. “Her support, along with that of the Friends, our generous attendees and the local business owners who make this event possible—helps enrich our library and empowers our students to succeed.”
